Originating from southern Central America and northern South America, papaya is an elongated fruit, similar to a pear, with juicy and soft flesh in shades of orange or red. Inside, it contains black seeds, inedible, which contrast with the delicacy of the flesh.

With a thin skin and mild flavor, papaya measures between 15 and 20 cm and is highly appreciated for its versatility: it can be enjoyed fresh, in salads, smoothies, or desserts.

Beyond its irresistible taste, it is rich in papain, a natural enzyme that aids digestion and is traditionally used to tenderize meat.

Papaya is a true symbol of tropical freshness, combining sweetness, lightness, and health benefits.
