Handling protocols

  • Handle gently because pawpaw bruises and punctures easily.
  • Wash under clean running water before peeling or cutting and use clean knives and cutting boards.
  • Cut away badly damaged or decaying areas before preparation.

Storage tips

  • Keep mature-green pawpaw in the coolest shaded and ventilated part of the home while it ripens.
  • Avoid prolonged storage of hard green pawpaw in a very cold household refrigerator.
  • Once mostly yellow and soft, refrigerate and use within about 2–3 days for best quality.
  • Discard fruit with mold, leaking flesh, water-soaked decay or a strong fermented smell.
