About Papayas, raw
Papaya is a large tropical fruit with soft, orange flesh, a mild, musky sweetness and a central cavity of peppery black seeds. Ripe, it's spooned straight from the skin with a squeeze of lime; unripe and green, it's shredded into Southeast Asian salads.
It's low in calories and rich in vitamin C and vitamin A (from carotenoids), with folate, potassium and fiber. Papaya also contains papain, a protein-digesting enzyme used commercially as a meat tenderiser and behind the fruit's traditional reputation for aiding digestion.
Soft, sweet and hydrating, ripe papaya is a gentle tropical fruit — at its best when the skin has turned mostly yellow and gives a little to a press.
