About Papaya salad

Papaya Salad, known as "Som Tum" in Thai cuisine, is a vibrant, flavorful dish originating from Southeast Asia. This refreshing salad typically features shredded green papaya as its base, complemented by tomatoes, green beans, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, chilies, and sometimes dried shrimp or peanuts. Known for its tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet profile, it's a staple of Thai street food and is often served as a side dish or appetizer. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, green papaya offers digestive enzymes and nutrients that support gut health. The vegetables contribute fiber, while lime juice provides vitamin C. However, the dish’s sodium content can be high due to the fish sauce, and peanuts or added sugars in some variations may increase calorie count. Despite this, Papaya Salad remains a nutritious, low-fat choice when consumed in moderation, celebrated for its burst of fresh, wholesome flavors.
