Pawpaw has just 5 kcal per 100 g peeled and seeded. An exceptionally low-calorie tropical fruit — among the lowest of all foods. The seeds and skin account for most of the weight.
How should I track Pawpaw, peeled, seeded?
Pawpaw, peeled, seeded is a good source of fiber. When tracking Pawpaw, peeled, seeded, weigh the edible portion — after peeling, coring, or removing seeds. The part you throw away does not count, but it can make up 20–40% of the total weight depending on the fruit. A systematic review (Whitton et al., Adv Nutr 2022) found that fruits are among the most commonly misestimated food groups. One more thing to watch: fresh and dried versions have very different calorie density. A handful of dried fruit can have the same calories as a whole bowl of fresh — always double-check which form you are logging.
