Fruit
Pawpaw fruit is the whole elongated berry, often clustered on the tree, sold or foraged as intact pieces. Skin stays greenish to blotchy yellow when ripe; gentle give indicates readiness. Whole fruit is the only practical trade form because soft ripe flesh ships poorly. Ripen at room temperature if firm, then chill briefly. Handle like ripe pears—no stacking. Yield of edible pulp after seeds and skin is modest relative to fruit size.
