Pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to North America and is plentiful across the Piedmont Triad. The fruit has a smooth flesh and can take on many flavors similar to banana, mango, or pineapple. Pawpaw is nutritious containing Vitamin A, C, and K, and many minerals, including zinc and magnesium. This plant also supports the environment by assisting in erosion control and pollution filtration around waterways.
