How to Process Pawpaw - No More Seeds!

- Опубліковано 27 вер 2019
- With the pawpaw harvesting season in full swing, I was in need of a quicker and more efficient way to process my pawpaw fruits. The reason processing is important is that especially for wild pawpaws much of the edible pulps attached to the seeds. There are some other ways to go about de-seeding pawpaw but I think I have come up with one of the best ways to process the pulp at home. I will using this pulp for a couple of upcoming recipe videos, so stay tuned!
The dough blade on a food processor-who would have thought of that. Pure genius! I just processed 1 gallon of paw paw pulp in about 2 hours. I don’t even want to think about how long it would have taken me to deseed all those fruits by hand. Don’t you just love UA-cam?! Thanks Gabriel.
I’d rank this is the top five mostly helpful UA-cam videos I’ve ever watched.
this guy was pretty helpful , I have three big paw paw trees now I know how to save the good pulp .
For storage, I like to fill quart freezer bags (instead of ice cubes). This way they sit flat in the freezer (don't overfill them) taking up less space and it's less work, and you can easily break off the amount that you want.
This is great. I have a couple dozen paw paws to process now. Thanks.
I make pawpaw pecan bread every year in the fall and also freeze back pulp to make pawpaw ice cream in the next summer. Love it!
Thank you so much. My trees finally started producing, when health failure made me lose 8 years of harvest. Tried a few a couple years ago. Seeds were an issue and flavor was a bit off. (I guess I shouldn't have picked the fruit.)
For toys, I used my kitchen Aid with the regular paddle at about 4 for speed. Used a deep fry basket for screen.
Thank you for your video.I only today find this fruit-tree in my parents village yard .your video was very helpful for me what to do with this fruit :)
GREAT VIDEO . I am in central Virginia & this morning am about to separate LOTS of PawPaws from their seeds. We have a lot of the trees native, here on our property . We threw a lot of seeds in the compost one year & had hundreds of little PawPaw trees the next Spring ! Interesting thing about them is, we have several of them growing in our chicken lot . A lot of the fruit fall to the ground , but the chickens will not touch them . Usually they will eat ANYTHING !
My first year knowing about these found them on my property it mus be the first crop off of these young trees I never had seen them before
thanks! i am going to try this today. i have spent years taking the seeds off the hard way! i was "shaking" trees yesterday and got a small bunch. i also live by a creek and will plant the seeds with my grands.
Loved your video. So helpful. A friend gave me a big bag of pawpaws and I had no clue what to do with them. First attempts were a crazy hopeless mess. Your video was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Great to see videos from fellow pawpaw lovers 😁 thanks for the great content, new sub here!!
Great Idea, thanks for sharing!
This would've helped me so much last year! I'll try and repost after I use this method (I'm a little scared about the seeds getting chopped, but yours looked great). Also helpful info about freezing them in ie cube trays, I put mine in a big bag last year, and it was soooo tedious whenever I wanted just a bit of pawpaw. Thanks so much :)
Thanks for the ideas. I planted two pawpaw trees a few years ago, not knowing much about them. I'm loving them but cleaning out the seeds from the flesh is a pain. I can't wait to try your method.
Thank you! I have the trees and no idea how to remove the seeds! Great video!
THAT is brilliant!
Thank you so much!
LOL +thedogsmaid Great handle
I have heard that if the seeds are planted in contact with the spent skins, germination will be greatly improved.
Thanks for the videos. I just found your videos and love them! I haven’t eaten pawpaw since I was a little girl about 45 plus years ago. Lol. I used to eat them from a neighbors tree in Oh. I loved the fruit but haven’t seen them since. How do I get them?
thanks for saying I love ya. that's super sweet.
Living in Europe pawpaw (the US version) I have only ever heard of as saving the lives of the Lewis and Clarke Expedition as they discovered them when they had run out of food and it was September - they are notorious for their short fruiting season and as yet I haven't found any frozen or canned pawpaw pulp to try.
You won't. Commercial production has been tried. The plant is very fickle about where it will grow, and the harvest is very small and unpredictable. You get about ten days of harvest, but you just have to be in the woulds around the plant to know when they're ripe.
40-50 lbs? holy shit. you must know a super secret paw paw patch to forage.
Genius
Paw paw is not the only North American native fruit, but it’s the largest NA native fruit.
Hi, Gabriel! So what pawpaw festival do you go to? I'm in your area, and I'd love to mark my calendar for next year, hopefully. Also, have you actually seen someone selling them locally?
Ahhhh, so that's what stratifying is. Thanks for the simple explanation.
Not the only native fruit
Did you wash the fruit first? If so, how thoroughly?
What model ninja is that processor you’re using?
When I lived in NY I heard of them, wish I had known more then! I wonder if they'll grow in the Scottish Borders? I want to try it someday!
They should, I know a few people who are growing them that way!
Do you have to worry about the pawpaws squishing themselves in bags of 40 lbs?
So excited for Paw Paw searching here in IL! Do you know if the skin is edible? Also, I tried to find its nutrition analysis..but no luck for accuracy. Sugar content per 100 g estimate? I believe it’s going to be problematic as bananas are too high in sugar content for me..thoughts?
They skin is pretty bitter, so I would not recommend eating it. I would imagine the nutritional info is very similar to banana or mango.
“If you’re going to buy pawpaw...”
Where? Where can I do this? They’re native to the Ozarks and no one has them! I didn’t even know about them until I was working as a receptionist at a tractor dealership and a sweet little old man who was a regular customer brought me one he’d picked out of his woods. I remember it tasted like bananas and caramel but have never been able to find them in any store or farmer’s market since.
For some reason, I had to sub again. So I did.
Oh no! THanks for checking that!
I've known about pawpaws for years but just discovered where (and when) to find them in my area. They are delicious, although some of them have a bitter aftertaste that we've noticed. I thought it might be because they were underripe, but even ones that have almost turned black still have it. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a way to avoid it, maybe when processing? I skinned ours and used a food mill to separate the seeds and flesh (very tedious!).
From what I understand the aftertaste depends on the patch. Some patches are sweeter. Some patches are more funky.
Does anyone have a pie recipe for the Paw Paw's?
I saw one here on UA-cam yesterday
Hey if u have the seeds I would love that please let me know thanks
I may have some stratified seeds available in the spring.
Aren't persimmons wild native fruits?
There are many native fruits including persimmons. Paw paw is the largest NA native fruit.
Never heard of this fruit
It is my favorite!
I want to try it!!! I live in California maybe I can plant it at my mom's house.
sounds like one peice devil fruit
