- searine 3y agoA ripe pawpaw is like a banana/mango flavor. Bitter and tough before ripe, but very sweet and soft when fully ripe with almost no bitter or sour. Slightly stringy like a squash.
- jonah 3y agoBanana custard but slightly more strongly flavored; creamy, white to yellow flesh.

The taste is very variable in different cultivars of this fruit. Some wild are said to be awful, but in the edible ones there are basically two groups: "plain banana" and "complex tropical mix". "not banana" means that the flavor is a mix of tropical fruits. More acidic and with complex overtones that can be described as pineapple, mango, or bubblegum
- modeless 3y agoMy favorite niche YouTube channel has an episode on pawpaws: https://youtu.be/zUy2O3qDT8I?si=HvvH2SZsDy4Yc88e https://youtu.be/zUy2O3qDT8I?si=HvvH2SZsDy4Yc88e He describes it "like if you took soursop, mango, and banana and blended it into a smoothie". Maybe not helpful if you haven't had soursop.
- ars 3y agoIt tastes like a mix of an apple and a banana.
