INGREDIENTS: Wild Indigo Forest-Grown Pawpaw Pulp — 2 lb Package
Our Pawpaws are collected here at Wild Indigo Forest Farm from our own 111-acre forest orchard, where they grow beneath the woodland canopy. Each fruit is gathered during its brief natural harvest season, when it has ripened into soft, fragrant, golden pulp.
Pawpaw is North America’s largest native fruit and a true woodland treasure. Its tropical flavor is often described as a delicious meeting of banana, mango, melon, and vanilla, with a naturally creamy, custard-like texture.
Fresh pawpaw season never lasts quite long enough. Our frozen pulp is the next best way to enjoy this rare native fruit after the fresh harvest has ended.
Each package contains 2 pounds of frozen pawpaw pulp with a small amount of ascorbic acid added to help preserve its natural color.
Delicious Ways to Enjoy It
Shave or grate the pulp while it is still frozen and add it directly to smoothies, or use it to create:
- Homemade pawpaw ice cream or sorbet
- Milkshakes and frozen drinks
- Yogurt, oatmeal, and chia bowls
- Custards, puddings, and chilled desserts
- Sauces, cocktails, beer, and spirits
Thawing + Storage
Like bananas, apples, and avocados, pawpaw pulp naturally begins to oxidize and turn brown as it thaws. This color change is normal.
Always thaw pawpaw pulp in the refrigerator and use it promptly after thawing. Do not allow thawed pulp to sit for an extended period.
Important Preparation Note
Please use caution when baking with fresh or frozen pawpaw. Some individuals have reported gastrointestinal discomfort after eating pawpaw that has been baked or dehydrated.
Pawpaw should never be dehydrated into fruit leather. For the gentlest experience, we recommend enjoying the pulp in smoothies, frozen desserts, chilled recipes, or other preparations that do not involve baking or dehydration.
