Selection:
Choose sweet smelling fruit without bruises and black spots, which show sign of deterioration. At times ‘freckles’ appear on the skin and these do not affect the flesh.

Storage:
A very delicate fruit, handle carefully to minimise bruising. May be stored under refrigeration for a short time.

Serving suggestion:
Pawpaw wedges with lemon or lime juice squeezed over makes a refreshing treat.
A simple rice pudding served warm with slices of pawpaw and topped with passionfruit pulp.
A thick slice can be served as a ring, remove the seeds and fill with chicken salad or a combination of fruits.
Chopped pawpaw is great with tropical chicken, veal and seafood dishes and especially Thai flavours.
