Pawpaw
📍 2022 Indianola Ave, Columbus, OH 43201, USA
🗓 Season: August · September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Green skin turns slightly yellow and gives like a ripe avocado. Custard-like, mango-banana scented flesh inside. Falls at the slightest touch. Very short shelf life — refrigerate and eat within days. Found throughout eastern North America.
Potato sized yellow-green fruit growing on small trees with large, ovate leaves. Fruiting is somewhat uncommon in this species, so consider bringing the seeds back to where you've found them after eating the fruit.
WARNING: Although this is a popularly foraged plant, it's been recently found that pawpaws contain annonacin, which can be toxic and affect the nervous system.
