Paw Paw Spears

Long spears of dried paw paw for a soft, mellow tropical snack.

Paw paw is the gentle one among the tropical fruits: soft, chewy and musky-sweet, without the sharpness of pineapple or the perfume of mango. A little citric acid gives it a clean finish.

Tear a spear into the lunchbox, or snip a few over Greek yoghurt with a spoonful of passionfruit. Toss them with coconut chips and macadamias for a tropical trail mix, or lay them across a grazing board for colour among the crackers.

Packed fresh in Melbourne by a family business that has been at it since 1975.
