The pawpaw: America's forgotten fruit finds new popularity

Season 2025 Episode 276 | 4m 40s

Apples, oranges and bananas are sold in abundance in supermarkets throughout the country. But some say the most American fruit is one you’ll likely never see in the produce department, and it’s one you’ve probably never heard of. Deema Zein bites into the long history of the pawpaw, America's forgotten fruit.
