These fruits actually taste really good too. As a native to Missouri, I have eaten these several times right off the tree while on hikes. They taste quite a bit like a banana and have huge seeds.
It is also North America's largest native tree fruit.
I agree with you that it tastes nice. However, either your bananas taste different or your pawpaws taste different - it doesn't taste like a banana at all!
