Also known as papaw, poor man's banana, and hoosier banana, the pawpaw is the closest thing to a tropical fruit that you can find growing in Virginia. It is like eating custard and it has twice the sugar of an apple or peach. It boasts 5% protein and is high in vitamins A and C along with many minerals. Pawpaws are great when eaten fresh and they make some of the creamiest ice cream that you have ever tasted.

Chilled pawpaws were one of George Washington's favorite deserts.
