Paw paws grow naturally in the area I live and are a delicious fruit. Due to cultivation and transport issues you will never find them in stores.

I love seeing the explosion of interest in pawpaws over the last decade. They're very good, a bit of a cross between mango and a banana. I've actually seen them at a local fsrmers market this season, I was pretty surprised.

My dad has a tree in his garden, and a friend has made pawpaw moonshine!

My grandpa had a pawpaw tree in his garden in rural MO and I always wondered how they taste.

which is why we need to normalize street markets like most tropical countries have, sure you can't buy it at the store but you can buy it from a dude who went into the forest with a big basket a few hours ago.
