For nearly a year with next to no luck, General Ulysses S. Grant tried to crack the defenses of Vicksburg , a city perched high on the cliffs of the Mississippi critical to the Confederacy’s stranglehold on the most important river in the United States. He tried attacking head-on. He tried to go around. He spent months digging a new canal that would change the course of the river. He blew the levees upstream and literally tried to float boats down into the city over flooded land.      None of this worked. All the while, the newspapers chattered. Months had gone by without progress. President Abraham Lincoln had sent a replacement, and the man was waiting in the wings. But Grant refused to be rattled, refused to rush or cease working on this strategy. He knew there was a weak spot somewhere. He would find it or he would make one.

Nutrition experts have pointed out that they are an excellent source of Vitamin C and one single medium fruit provides 224 per cent of your daily Vitamin C needs. They are a good source of folate, Vitamin A, magnesium, copper, pantothenic acid and fibre. The abundance of B vitamins, alpha and beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthan, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, vitamin K and lycopene, the powerful antioxidant most commonly associated with tomatoes, makes pawpaw one fruit that should be incorporated into one’s meals. Interestingly, they can be enjoyed when slightly unripe as well as when they are ripe. While the unripe pawpaw gives a crunchy munch, the ripe pawpaw benefits those who prefer a succulent bite. They can be relished as a lone snack, in the form of fruit salad or as beverage (either pureed alone or with other blended f...
