What is Pawpaw?
Pawpaw is a fruit indigenous for North America, also called sweet or Prairie banana . Although the name could come from the Spanish term papaya , the two fruit is not related. The trees that grow the paw are the largest Indian fruit trees that range from 16 to 32 feet (5.44 to 9.75 m). Small flowers are deep purple colors. After spring flowering, the leaves begin to hatch, which appear almost on the spot in their native environment. They are dark green and shiny, reminiscent of leaves of many tropical plants, albeit golden in autumn. The tree is often chosen for landscaping, because the deer tends to avoid the food of the leaves.
The fruit itself can grow in clusters or separately. The pressure ranges from 2 to 6.5 inches (5.08 to 16.51 cm), with an average diameter of 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm). Unripe fruit light green, but turn to the yellow -brown at full mature.
Most paws are pollinated by Blowflies, which sometimes make them unattractive, that they would be cultivating. Those who have Pawpaw farms generally lay rotting meat near trees to increase the number of flies, thus increasing the performance of the tree. In addition to proliferation of flies, the tree does not have many natural predators. However, some growers still consider the cultivation of flies. Although from North America, Pawpaw does not have the popularity of other fruit, although more organic gardeners are considering developing orchards because they are low maintenance.
There are critics and fans of paws as well as more interpretations of what the fruit tastes. Some people compare the taste with a cross between vanilla and bananas, while others think it is more similar to a mix of bananas and mangoes. Others will find a taste, whatever it is, boring. Some people compare the creamy texture of the fruit to the rich pudding.
Pawpaw contains more protein than most other fruit and can also be used as a neckAda fat in recipes for muffins and cakes. Emphasis on healthy eating can be more inspired to choose a paw due to its high -protein ratio to sugar. Various recipes indicate that they will use it in chambers, wheelers, chiffon cakes and ice creams. The fruit is even a recipe for wine.
Some examining the paw led to faith, which was not documented by significant evidence that it may have properties fighting cancer. The native Americans used leaves and bark to treat Scarlet Horever. The leaves are slightly toxic, so it can be best to leave this treatment well. Some people have trouble digesting fruit, moreover, so maybe want to try them with caution initially.
