About One swrving of papaya

A single serving of papaya, approximately 1 cup (about 150 grams), is a tropical fruit native to Central America and widely enjoyed in cuisines worldwide. Papaya is rich in nutrients, offering an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and fiber, while being naturally low in calories—around 60 calories per serving—and free of fat. It contains powerful antioxidants like beta-carotene and lycopene, which help combat free radicals and support overall health. Papaya is also known for its enzyme papain, which aids digestion and may ease bloating. This fruit supports immune health, promotes good skin, and contributes to heart health due to its potassium content. The natural sweetness makes it a healthy alternative to sugary snacks, although its glycemic index may be higher for individuals monitoring blood sugar. Papaya’s vibrant flavor complements smoothies, salads, and desserts, reflecting its versatility in tropical and global cuisines.
