Papaya

Papaya

EverydayFresh

Papaya is a tropical fruit native to Central America, recognized by its vibrant orange flesh and central cavity filled with edible black seeds. Its sweet, musky flavor and buttery-soft texture make it distinct from other tropical fruits, while the enzyme papain in unripe varieties aids protein digestion. Rich in vitamin C and folate, fresh papaya is typically eaten raw, either scooped directly from the rind or added to salads and smoothies, with its enzyme content making it particularly valuable for digestive health.
