Ever Had Pawpaw Juice?
Pawpaw juice from the ripe papaya fruit is sweet. The ripened fruit is used to make a juice which is served chilled. Adding less water makes pawpaw nectar. The nectar is a little thicker and served on ice. The green fruit is used to make pawpaw pie. 
Pawpaw is very a good source of Dietary Fiber and Potassium. It is also a very good source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Folate. Growing up in Africa, we spent a lot of time outdoors. We often invented our own play toys. The pawpaw stems are soft but firm, and hollow. We pulled them off the tree and used a small knife to cut air holes along the stem. They made a nice high pitch homemade flute.This play toy was a favorite of mine. I liked the bird-like sound.
