Excerpt from Pawpaw: In Search of America's Forgotten Fruit

"The pawpaw is a fruit that has been largely forgotten by Americans. But it is a fruit that deserves to be rediscovered. It is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes.

The pawpaw is native to the American Midwest. It is a large, custard-like fruit with a sweet, tropical flavor. Pawpaws are high in vitamins and minerals, and they have been used for centuries by Native Americans for food and medicine.

The pawpaw was once a popular fruit in the United States. In the 19th century, pawpaws were grown in orchards and sold in markets. But the popularity of the pawpaw declined in the 20th century, as other fruits, such as bananas and oranges, became more popular.

Today, the pawpaw is a rare fruit. It is still found in some wild areas, and it is grown by a small number of farmers. But the pawpaw is still largely unknown to most Americans.

I believe that the pawpaw deserves to be rediscovered. It is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile fruit that can be used in a variety of dishes. I hope that this book will help to introduce the pawpaw to a new generation of Americans."
