Pawpaw, Yellow Flesh

Growing up I didn't know this was any different to papaya. I just couldn't work out why I loved the football-looking fruit with the orangey-yellow flesh so much more.  I am in the minority though, as most prefer the sweetness of papaya to the banana-like pawpaw flavour.

Pawpaw has a mellow taste, and can be used in smoothies, salads, and a starter before meals.
