Fruit
Skin
Pawpaw skin is the thin outer peel, usually discarded. It can taste bitter or green and is not a standard edible garnish. Split fruit and spoon out flesh rather than trying to peel like an apple; the soft ripe fruit collapses under a peeler. Compost skins after scooping. There is no culinary crackling or zest tradition for true pawpaw peel. Wipe fruit before cutting so surface dirt does not track into the pulp.
