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.
