Re: [sustainable_tompkins-l] Fwd: Pawpaw Fruit

[Elizabeth Gabriel - Groundswell]

They are such a lovely fruit!  But we don't eat them all the time mostly
because they haven't been cultivated on a commercial level because they
brown and bruise so easily - most consumers wouldn't be interested in
them.  They are harvested just about at ripe, but as they ripen, in some
cases the browner and uglier they look, the better they taste (to a point
of course :)

There's a Paw Paw festival in Ohio and more of a market in some places in
the country. Mostly they are sold pulped and frozen, so they keep their
orange color.

Thanks for the video.
