the reason the paw paws were bitter and tasted nutty was because they went bad during shipping. fresh and perfectly ripe paw paws are absolutely amazing. super sweet and tastes like bananas mangoes pineapple and raspberries mixed. if you wait a week to eat them, they become bitter and disgusting.
I would eat a lot of what tastes like "bananas mangoes pineapple and raspberries"!
When is a good time to pick them? Whare can i buy them? me and mom would love to know.
That's great insider informtion. Coming from Alaska, I actually had no idea that these fruits even existed.
Pawpaw's have a 24 hour shelf life at the most with a week an a half harvest season. That is why they are not commercialized. Look closely for them on the banks of almost swampy areas in the woods where the canopy is thin.
@@AidanCaDrago just use Amazon prime
It should taste like a banana mixed with a mango. It sounds like you guys tasted some pawpaw fruit that went bad.
samitajocook-n-go
Love a good troll. Keep if fresh my dood
They taste like a sweeter banana.
It sounds like a chirimoya (custard apple). Those are amazing too and also hard to find
@@binchillin888 similar like durian？

Ezra Al Barra omg the viral papaw
Finally someone who hasn't forgotten. We remember you pawpaw, we remember...
Ezra Al Barra nope. Forever part of the song in jungle book
LOL
3:48 are we just gonna ignore the fact that this agriculture persons name is sheri crabtree?? literally her name fits perfectly
Yes.. Yes we are
"Hey have you met the Crabtrees moving next door?"
"The what now?!"
E m m a was coming to the comments when I heard that and had to pause or should I say pawpaws the video to come and make sure it was mentioned ... so ty lol
The question we should ask us, is since when does Cherry grow on a Crabtree?
"The pawpaw doesn't have to be something it's not. It can just be the pawpaw." This is so beautiful, I nearly shed a tear. This man really believes in the pawpaw.
*aND if ya look Up there, those are PAW PAW trees*
Makes one wonder where the MAW MAW trees are at.
AND THEN THE *CAW CAW* TREEZ
Beau!
The fruit is rare to provide Americans with a sense of pride and accomplishment for finding them.
Y’all uncultured af it’s mentioned in the Jungle Book in the bear necessities song
Hope Weiss thankyou for commenting this for me.
But that's weird as jungle book is set in India and this is definitely not local to India.
@@radmoonable Still an American animation; style/ relatability over authenticity
Omg yes i was just thinking that when i started watching
I thought that was another word for Papayas

chizzy I'm dead😂😂😂
Nah son, it it your MawMaw
chizzy yes son I'm here.
Poor eleven. .
Im Native and this *just* made me realize no one else grew up eating and picking pawpaws.
Beecauve Yeah, we don't live in tents.
Nessie Andrew why are you like this
Didn't grow up with alcoholism either
jesus christ why would you guys say that. they were just sharing that they grew up with this fruit.
suau because they're saddos who want to look cool, edgy, and like they're funny. Always the first to hate, dislike or disagree for the sake of it (or they're just ignorant and think anyone who isn't like them is wrong or weird)
Pay them no mind
Bandango would be a kickass band name.
... and Fetid Bush would be a good name for a grunge band :D
Angry Yogbuscus I looked up Bandango and turns out that there is band that has that name. Sadly, they are not kickass. I also know that there's a band with a similar name but I don't remember what they're called. All I know is that the name ends in "dango"
I keep hearing 'will you do the fandango' after the name was mentioned

Nice one lmao
I applaud both your name and your pun. Well done.
You don't need to use the claws if you pick a pear of the big pawpaw.
If you've seem the animated Jungle Book, you've heard of this. You just didn't necessarily know it was real.
Is it the same pawpaw? Jungle Book is set in India, were these plants ever spread there? Seems like it would be a more tropical climate there... My guess would be those are the Papaya pawpaws. I also looked up the song and in the movie it definitely looks more like a Papaya if that means anything. Different fruit.
Jessica Doud its the animated one of course disney made it so -> american made movie ->british book
It's mangoes, not pawpaws
Yes! That's how I heard of it! Although...it may not be the same thing based on the region.
PAIR OF PAWPAWS
Are pawpaw’s in the “Bear necessities” song from the jungle book? 🤔
Yes ma'am
That's confusing. Jungle Book is set in India.
TheGerm24 “when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear and you pick a raw paw, next time beware” 😂
Could be referring to the papaya, in many countries the names papaya and pawpaw are used interchangeably
Emily you should of watched 2 min to 2 30 in.
Damn you, Vox, for making me sentimental about a fruit.
lol
the little sad paw paw 😢 i want to get some just so he doesn't feel bad
Cosmic Rogue I’m your 666th like! >:)
Whenever I stayed with my grandma, she would use the pawpaws like butter or jam and she would spread it on my toast. That was my absolute favorite thing to eat whenever I was at her place. The taste reminded me of banana pudding, I haven’t eaten pawpaw since I was 6 !
Every time I watch a video by Vox, they feature an expert who comes on to share some information via Skype. Without fail, the webcam that expert is using is either fifteen years old or they accidentally smeared the lens with vaseline-- because it has the resolution of that camera Nintendo sold for the Gameboy.
"Accidentally smeared the lens with vaseline" I actually lol'd.
You see, they spent so much of their brain energy on the subject they've mastered that they don't have any left to do simple tasks like operating a computer properly
My grandmother is Native American and she eats these to this day. She said her mom and dad ate them sometimes sliced on ice cream when they went into town.
Nice! Which nation?
Pactura the American one
I swear if he says "Cherokee" I'll lose it. Lmao
Consider your fruits lucky, my PawPaw never returned home from the war
Lovely Flowers yes 😢
Best part of the video: “No? Alright whatever dude.” Lmao
Vice is cancer. Stupid guy with a pretentious voice.
That was actually pretty good, since I was thinking I hadn't heard of any of the names he was talking about.
That sweet nutty taste!
Tastes more like fish to me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The U.S also has native persimmons, plums, countless berry species and even passionfruit.
Yes, it takes too much effort getting a pawpaw...
but, at least you get a 'sense of pride and accomplishment'

Most of the fruits we eat didn't taste good until we domesticated them. I wonder what these would taste like if they were domesticated
rainepanda a few varieties have already been developed in the past century through breeding projects and they are wonderful!
Not really true. Most of the fruits we eat tasted fine before we domesticated them, otherwise we probably wouldn't have kept eating them. Domestication of plants largely revolved around increasing yields, although improved taste is another lesser factor. Fruit are MEANT to be eaten, so they're going to be tasty (to something anyway) by nature. Our modification is basically that we wanted larger fruit, with more nutrition. This is contrary to the plant's natural desire of using as little energy to make the fruit tasty so that it can have more fruit, so it can have more seeds.
seigeengine THANK YOU
Very misleading. Bananas, corn, watermelon, etc were no where near the ediblity they are now. They either tasted much more bitter or were just difficult to eat (large seeds, unpleasant texture, etc). People then weren’t as concerned with “does it taste like a perfectly sweet tangerine” as much as “can I get calories from this without dying”
Thomas Stewart It doesn’t matter, flavor was an after thought for modern domestication projects.
so if a dad eats a pawpaw
*is that cannibalism?*

Isn't almost every single fruit we consume nowadays very heavily bred and selected to have the good properties it has, such as taste, size and how long it lasts? Natural bananas are full of seed and have very little flesh. It seems like this fruit was just never commercialized properly.
Ehsan Kia like you can't get bananas in the wild because of a f**king disease to the plant now we made our own bananas.
No, captainrobots, that's not at all accurate.
There are many many varieties of bananas growing in the wild.
What happened is we used to grow one type commercially (Gros Michel), until a disease wiped it all out. Now we grow a different type (Cavendish).
captainrobots No this is untrue.
seigeengine THANK YOU
+Zelos Gaming I don't think I've ever been thanked so much.
2:36 That's because Australians call "papayas" "pawpaws".
"American pawpaw on the other hand is an entirely different fruit not related to the tropical Carica papaya from which Australian red papaya and yellow papaw come. American pawpaw is also known as ‘poor man’s banana’ and is the fruit of the Asimina triloba tree."
MrAntieMatter not all of us!
If u looked carefully there is 2 different fruits
Oh, so that's what a yam is!
You all realize that both of these came from the Americas, right? We're not the ones who renamed them to something confusing. The rest of the world did that. ;P Plus Papaya's were probably smaller centuries ago, before the whole genetic engineering of fruits/vegi's started (on a massive scale -- I don't mean the general way we've always done that stuff.) A smaller Papaya would look very much like a PawPaw.
How about Sea Grape? or Pumpkin? Wild North American Strawberries? Blueberries? Avocado? There are tons of Native American fruits.
John Prepuce pumpkin?
I've smelled sea grape before and it's so good but I can never find the source.
@@Smug924 yes, Pumpkins are native to Mexico and the southern United States and they are fruit of the vine.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumpkin
Same with pineapple and papayas
Noah Vincent Isturis avocados definitely are, the aztecs cultivated them and they’re native to south central Mexico. It’s why in Spanish they’re called aguacates which comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) name Aguacatl. Idk about strawberries tho
315 dislikes on a video explaining a fruit.
Sounds perfectly reasonable.
Maybe they are critics: Video too long, not informative, hardly any close up footage, no nutritional info, plenty of reasons to dislike. In 6 an a half minutes from this video , I learned practically nothing. in 30 seconds at a website: eatonrapidsjoe.blogspot.com/2014/09/persimmons-vs-pawpaws.html , so much more info was provided.
Because it's clearly liberal propaganda.
Scott, you do make a good point.
Scott Jenkins what do you mean, 'learned nothing'?!
Scott Jenkins There was hardly any interesting information on that site, it was only directly comparing pawpaws with persimmons.
dinner with pawpaw tonight...❤️ he made 12 burgers for all 6 grandkids and I'm the only one who showed. 😢 love him
nadine 😂😂
Not really funny. I hope your humor gets you through the days your family forgets your sorry butt.
keriezy I wasn't... making fun... lmao nvm yeah you're probably right 😢💯👏
nadine Well, there is always good company where ever the food is at! Make sure to tell your pawpaw you appreciate all that food he made, ive had that happen to me as well and I was never thanked for it 😂
Tyler Raymond such a wholesome comment i'm just gonna let it be❤

*M A D E I N C H I N A*
I'm trying to find a way to be offended by this video :/
Miss Keisha this fruit is sexist because it's part of the patriarchy. It's clearly stated in the name
There's no homosexuality representation in this video so it's clearly homophobic
There are no black Pawpaws so they're clearly racist
Then it's even more racist!
Honestly I was a little bit peeved that the point of this video was just to whine about development
the reason they not good is cause you're not eating them fully ripe!
And, the cultivated varieties are much better then wild one's often!
most fruits have been gmo genetically modified to be the best for people like how you see bananas with no seeds now
Are you that confused?? The majority of GMO crops (10) include soy, corn, cotton, and some others in this link: (www.bestfoodfacts.org/what-foods-are-gmo/)!!! Banana's are seedless through human selection. Proof: (www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/01/13/iowa-trial-of-gmo-bananas-is-delayed/21678303/)!!!
Also, if you do some actual research instead repeating what many other say, you'd come to the same conclusion as me. GMO are not all that bad! The only problem is when big companies hold patents on genetically improved crops. Genetically improving organisms only speeds up the natural process of choosing wanted traits (Corn was once a 3 kernel little grass, but through thousand of years it is what it is now)!
Also, guess what, there are only 2-4 genetically improved apple varieties (hard to find conclusive reports). AND, most stores will not sell them. And, don't don't tell me GMO foods give rats cancer, their were way too many problems with that study and was likely the Roundup that caused tumors (in a variety of rat already prone to tumors), not the Genetically Improved corn!
Try to do a bit of research on unbiased websites and form your own opinions! (Don't go to websites like: nongmoproject. com, shoppingnongmo. com, ect)
wew wew wew no need to get your nickers in a twist is there no one complained about gmo fruits just most people dont know about gmo anything and then try to attack you for suggesting what it is or how it began, almost like what your doing but the polar opposite. gmo organics were made to be easier and just help the general population to eat the fruit & veg there is without destroying it and removing alot of fibres to just be able to eat the flesh of the fruit or veg that they have.
id destroy my brain if i had to de-seed every single peice ground grown food i eat, its bad enough we still have grapes that are seeded i honest dont know why they taste exactly the same but 100% harder to enjoy its more like a task than just a nice addition of vitamins and flavour.
But this is were you are wrong though, since in the general definition of GMO (an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there), seedless products are not! They are just created through selective breeding. There are no GMO grapes in the market and have never been.

Reforestation in the U.S. has more than offset deforestation since 2000, resulting in a net gain in forest growth. However this alone does not remediate the impact of ecosystem disturbance on the Pawpaw populations.
It also doesn't translate into reforestation being in the same place or of the same kind.
seigeengine - Very true. I though I would comment on the amount of reforestation because only the large amount of deforestation that has taken place was mentioned in the video. It is a complicated matter, with the longterm effects on the Pawpaw as yet to be determined.
John OBrien Gardener most reforest missions replace hard wood with pine trees which disrupt habits also
Do you have a source for that fact? I'm really intrigued.
There's reforestation?
It looks like green mango outside, and a durian inside 😮😮
A durian mango,

The pawpaw "belt"? Not much of a belt, is it?

In Australia we grow two common papaya cultivars, the sweeter red papaya is called "red papaya" and the yellow is called "yellow pawpaw". As such there is some confusion around the naming, most people call all papaya 'pawpaw' in Australia - hence the 'pawpaw' ointment mentioned in this video.
Persimmons are also all American! Their scientific name, Diospyros virginiana, means the food of the gods. They’re a lot like the pawpaw in terms of finicky ripeness and texture.
DizzyGEICO Persimmons are in most grocery stores.
Wendy Muller ...and those would be the asian variety which ain’t got nothing on ours in terms of flavor. I harvested a couple hundred pounds from one tree a few years ago using huge shade nets. D. virginiana is my favorite fruit.
+Hoansbuckler
Can you describe how the shade nets were used? I just get visions of a giant shaking the fruit off the tree onto the nets!
persimmons are good just DONT EAT THEM BEFORE THEY ARE RIPE THIS IS A PSA
Except you can get them at Costco.

There's also a plant the Native Americans would grow, native to the US. The fruit is red and spiky looking, but grown correctly it is *super* sweet and delicious. A lot of ppl in CA grow them as an ornamental plant, never knowing the fruit is edible! It's got lots of seeds, and grown right tastes similar to a blackberry
What is it?
Yeah, What is it called?
Its the prickly pear, at least I think it's what shes talking about. Its red, native over here in CA, and has lots of seeds.

Who here has heard of mayhaw berries? This is another obscure fruit that is only indigenous to the southern US. Y'all don't know good till you have warm buttered biscuit filled with sweet mayhaw jelly!
aimyah88 Mayhaw is fantastic! I like loquats, too. Seems like Vox needs better researchers. 🤔📖
aimyah88 Technically speaking berries aren't fruit.
chdreturns What? I’m a botanist and this is completely wrong. Berries are a fruit that has developed from a single ovary. What the hell do you mean technically not a fruit? It’s a fruit in every sense of the word. Botanical and common language.
Tony Clifton idk where chdreturns got the idea that berries aren’t fruit
Never heard of those berries. Around my house we have salmon berries though!

Vox you’re so behind, pawpaw season ended in September, what’s up with you posting this so late getting me all excited for a fruit I can’t eat for a year.
looks like a pre-domesticated banana
Aisha Janseit how is that funny?? It does...
it does, doesn’t it?
It does have almost a banana custard flavor. The ones they showed were horribly small, probably due to shelf life and shipping time. They’re delicious!
my thought exactly. with the proper selective breeding, maybe something can be made from this.
Hi this sounds like an interesting subject tell me more
When i was little my mom would take me to this place were a bunch of kids (usually homeschooled kids) would go on a 1 mile walk in the woods and we would get pawpaws. There was a whole song about pawpaws that we had to sing for some reason. It was always boring but we got pawpaw ice cream at the end (It actually tasted really good).

The jungle book song refers to a papaya which is what the Spanish mistook the pawpaw for which was the name of they knew papaya by.

My whole life has been a lie. Been using the word pawpaw and papaya interchangeably all my life for papaya.

Thanks for all the emotional guidance Vox. I started to be very upset and offended by the way the pawpaw is marginalized.
WHAT DO WE WANT!?
"indifference"
WHEN DO WE WANT IT!?
"whenever"
People haven’t heard of the pawpaw?
nope
I've never heard of it. The video does a good job explaining why its hard to distribute nationally, but I'm surprised farmers have not tried selective breeding to try and produce a variety that stores longer.
Never in my life. Seems like if you don’t live in the region there’s little reason for why people would have heard of it
I live in the UK and know of it but I guess I like fruits and stuff lol
They mention it in Bear Necessities in the Jungle Book. And everybody has seen the Jungle Book
These used to grow in my back yard. I had no clue they were edible 🤷🏼♀️
pickin' up a paw paw, put it in the basket
YES! I'm not the ONLY one who knows that song!
I haven't heard that song in FOREVER.
I could swear the lyric I was taught was "Pickin' up paw-paws, put 'em in your pocket". But it's been forever since kindergarten and "Way Down Yonder In the Paw-Paw Patch".
What about persimmons!!!
gangisspawn1 I noticed alot of Americans don't know about American persimmons
they are far more common and well known though. I see persimmons sold every now and then at my local grocery store and I live in Montana. Cosco persimmons are where its at.
There's some at my local grocery store right now!
the grocery store I used to work at in high school always had them. I don't think they're that unknown. Obviously they're not as known as apples and oranges, but they're not as rare as the Paw Paw.
Starly Casablanca
I've seen paw paw and persimmon trees for sale in garden catalogs too, unfortunately I live in an area the probably won't grow :(
When I was a child my mom would sing a song about “way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.” I had no idea that pawpaws were fruits. I didn’t know what pawpaws were at all and for some reason never thought to ask. Glad I know now. 😄

In the Caribbean we refer to papaya as pawpaw
you could genetically modify it for mass production.
Seriously. Even regular selective breeding. What's stopping them from developing a bloodline that produces fruits that spoil less quickly?
This is how all domesticated spices developed. Wild maize is extremely different than modern maize.
Just any other mass production fruit was.

Procesadortv we have chirimoyas in the US as well. they are mostly in California. They taste completely different than the Paw Paw fruit in my opinion.
ASMR Gratitude chirimoyas are kinda sweet
I've definitely heard of this fruit! It is incredibly difficult to find. The flowering tree smells disgusting.

There was a folk song we learned in elementary school (think '50s) to which the chorus ended Way down yonder in the paw paw patch. I don't think I have ever seen one.
There are also two species of persimmon one from Virginia and one from Texas, which are native to the US. I have seen the eastern one, but never tasted it. There is a story that Stonewall Jackson, known for the long fast marches of his troops, came across a persimmon tree, climbed into the tree from his horse, and perched there eating the fruit while his soldiers marched past.

Paw paws are one of my favorite. My parents are lucky enough to have several of the trees growing on their farm in Ohio. In terms of bitter taste-don't eat the peel! The bitter taste comes from the peel. My parents and I have always described it as tasting like a vanilla banana custard. Where they get nutty from is beyond me.
All they need to do is genetically modify the Pawpaw so that it is sweeter and more sustainable so that it can be the next orange (genetically cultivated Pomello). Their natural insecticide trait would benefit a lot of other tree fruits.
AZ It might be useful to plant pawpaw trees at the borders of fields of other crops to keep insects away. Also to make organic insect repellent from pawpaw bark when the trees are pruned. And if the fruit can’t be stored and shipped, it would make a nice treat for the farmers and workers. But there would be opposition from Monsanto and other big chemical companies.
One thing wasn’t mentioned in the video, however. Plants containing toxic or irritating compounds in one part often have them in other parts. As a teenager many years ago in Miami I picked some mangoes from a backyard tree. I learned that I have an allergy to the oil in mango skins, so I can’t handle or prepare them. I can eat the pulp after it has been peeled by a non-allergic person and the traces of skin washed off, and I can eat food products containing mangoes, but I can’t pick one up in the store.
Has anyone checked whether something like this could be true of the pawpaw, since it has insecticides in the bark?
Allan Richardson No clue, but as a safe bet id just stay away from them unless your looking to plant some for a farm you might run or be a part of! Google is also a great tool I suggest you use it! :)
Tyler Raymond I will, but haven’t had the opportunity to do so yet. I’ll get back on here when I find an answer.
I love pomelo, it’s delicious and it’s yellow on the outside and a nice pink on the inside.
Pawpaws are already really good. some of the selections made by U of KY are crazy sweet. tastes like cherimoya with more banana in it.

I don't get it.
+Charlie Clumsy Woks/Vox is Latin for voice
And in Spanish it's voz (;
Charlie Clumsy Vox is the Latin for the word voice or vocal.
jeonky. Thank you I didn't know that.
I'm from West Virginia (which has a town named Pawpaw), and they're pretty common and delicious. Fried pawpaws are amazing, and like a pawpaw-mustard glaze on pork loin will knock your socks off. They're pretty alright just right off the tree, but you can use them to make absolutely delicious food/wine/brandy/preserves, etc.
Send us some seeds...?😁 ...pls 🙇🏼♀️🖖✌
...and Michigan. PawPaw, MI is a place.
Was that a clip from aquachigger’s channel?? He is obsessed with pawpaws
Sure was: ua-cam.com/video/7NjR9J3moYw/v-deo.html
ahaning thanks! That’s too cool!!
In Jamaica people call papaya a paw paw
We have pawpaws in Michigan too...
That aussie accent hahahahaha. They aren't British
As an Australian, that doesn't sound British. It sounds more like a Canadian accent, really.
Ned He didn't put on an accent, he just said sorry mate which is a phrase used in Australia, UK and NZ.
Guy Bryson lol yeah... he never put on an accent
Ned do you have ears? There was no accent it’s a common phrase.
He definitely put an accent on. I too thought it was rather strange, especially if it was supposed to be Australian. Sounded British to me...
Brit here
After hearing about these, it took me years to actually get my hands on some. It's a custard like fruit, with hints of banana and kiwi. Kind of tropical. Over or under-ripe paw paw are horrible. The seeds are obnoxiously large and are as hard as rocks. I had piece of paw paw cheesecake and the paw paw festival in Winston Salem, NC. It was truly amazing. I planted some seedlings two years ago, so maybe in a few years I'll start seeing some fruit.
Ohhh so that’s what those are I’ve been eating the while hunting kinda a family tradition I just never knew what they were
Paw Paws! I knew it when I saw the thumbnail!
There are for sure native grape species in America, maybe not ones we cultivate or eat often but still
Muscadine is one of then
When you went to the pawpaw festival this year and thought it was pretty cool...
I THINK I SAW THIS IN MOONSHINERS. ITS LIKE THE MANGO OF NORTH AMERICA.
With how finicky they are, sounds like they could make an entry into the market as jams or preserves.
having to swear so ppl dont think your watch mojo
