Pawpaws taste like a mixture of bananas, mangos, and pineapples. They’re like a tropical banana mango custard but found in temperate forests across the eastern United States, nourishing humankind for thousands of years and now complete with their own pawpaw festivals. Papayas are sometimes called pawpaws, but they’re completely different fruits. The real pawpaw is also known as the dog banana, false-banana, Indiana banana, prairie banana, poor man’s banana, Ozark banana, Banango, Indiana banana, and the Kentucky banana. Pawpaws are my favorite fruit, or should I say were my favorite fruit. One of the reasons I moved to rural Virginia was because the property had a whole grove of pawpaw trees. I was going to be set for life—that is, until I ate a few too many on the first harvest, became quite ill, and actually looked them up. Pro tip: in the future, look to see if a food is toxic before you eat lots of it. Little did I know, the pawpaw belonged to an infamous family of fruits that contains three different types of neurotoxins. I had actually done a video years ago warning people not to eat soursop, also known as graviola, but didn’t realize pawpaws were related.

Some people are allergic to pawpaw. Food allergies are many, the most common being milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. Among fruits the common ones are apple, peach and kiwi fruit. Less common are apricot, banana, cherry, coconut, date, fig, grape, lychee, mango, melon, orange, peach, pear, persimmon, pineapple, pomegranate, prune, strawberry, and tomato. This list puts pawpaw allergy in perspective. Pawpaws are not unusual; and the same caution should be exercised in eating them as in eating other fruits. Cholinesterase inhibitors – in potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplant. Protease inhibitors – in raw soybeans Amylase inhibitors – in wheat flour Tannins – in tea, coffee, and cocoa Cyanogenic glycosides – in cassava Glucosinolates – in cabbage, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, etc Lectin proteins – in red kidney beans Lathyrogens – in chick peas and vetch Convicine and vicine – in fava beans Moderation in eating pawpaw is the sensible approach. Daily consumption throughout the year, particularly of a tea brewed from the leaves, is probably unwise. Dried pawpaw leather, although delicious, is know to cause nausea and vomiting. Finally, and most importantly, do not inject pawpaw fruit directly into your veins.

Pawpaw is toxic to some cancer cells, but such effects have not been shown in humans. The plant extract is used in anti-lice shampoo and in pesticides. In lab studies, the extract killed cancer cells resistant to commonly used chemotherapy drugs such as adriamycin. It also appeared to be more toxic to cancer cells than to normal cells. However, studies on these effects have not been conducted in humans. Cancer treatment Test tube studies suggest pawpaw may have activity against cancer cells, but experiments in mice produced conflicting results. There are no published clinical studies in humans that test safety or effectiveness of pawpaw as a cancer treatment. Pawpaw should not be confused with graviola, also known as Brazilian pawpaw, or with papaya, another fruit with a similar texture and appearance. In vitro studies show that pawpaw extract has cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines including those resistant to adriamycin. Clinical studies have not been conducted.
