Forest-Grown Native Fruit · Southern Indiana

Tastes Like Sunshine 🌞

If banana, mango, vanilla & melon had a baby…

Pawpaw is a real native fruit with real nutritional value, not a medicinal miracle fruit. Its magic is that it tastes gloriously tropical while growing beneath an eastern woodland canopy.

Seasonal harvest note. Pawpaw is a brief late-summer fruit at Wild Indigo. Frozen pulp is offered only when our seasonal harvest allows, so sold out may simply mean the forest pantry is between pawpaw seasons.

Ingredients

Pawpaw pulp with a small amount of ascorbic acid added to help preserve its naturally golden color. One 2 lb / 907 g bag.

Nutritional Benefits

Vitamin C. Pawpaw provides vitamin C, which supports normal collagen formation, antioxidant defenses and immune function. Exact content varies with ripeness, variety and storage.

Potassium & magnesium. Pawpaw supplies minerals involved in normal muscle, nerve and cardiovascular function.

Energy & natural carbohydrates. The creamy pulp provides naturally occurring sugars and starches, making it useful in smoothies, desserts and other calorie-containing foods.

Carotenoids & phenolic compounds. Pawpaw contains antioxidant plant compounds, although human research has not established specific disease-prevention benefits from eating the fruit.

Ascorbic acid. A small amount of vitamin C is added after pulping to slow oxidation and help preserve color.

🌞 How to Use

  • Smoothies and frozen drinks
  • Ice cream, gelato or sorbet
  • Yogurt, oatmeal and chia bowls
  • Custards, puddings and chilled desserts
  • Sauces, cocktails, beer and spirits

Thawing & Storage

Keep frozen until ready to use. Thaw in the refrigerator and use promptly. Pawpaw naturally darkens as it oxidizes, much like banana or avocado.
