Aren't these mangoes?

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. Paw paws. Native to North America. They do look kind of like mangoes on the outside, though!

Oh thank you

Pawpaws are related to cherimoyas.

Paw Paw is the only member of the papaya family that is native to North America. They taste nothing like a mango or a papaya, though. Hard to describe.
