The wild pawpaw is a feast of a berry. Indigenous to eastern and southeastern North America, the pawpaw is green until it matures to a seeded spectacle of yellowish-brown, signaling that it's ready to eat. Many trace the name to the more well-known papaya. Historical rumor has it that President George Washington frequently chomped on the pawpaw as a favorite dessert.From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, the Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center (4750 Troost, 816-759-7300) invites the public to share in George's guilty pleasure — and other equally delightful fare — during Fruits of the Forest. The center's open house will feature fruit stands offering a bounty of wild edibles as well as arts and crafts for the kids. Bring a brave heart and an empty stomach, says Patrick Whalen, the center's education specialist. Come, be berry and get your paws on some pawpaws. Admission is free.
