About Pepaya
Pepaya, also known as papaya, is a tropical fruit native to Central America and widely cultivated in Asia, the Caribbean, and other warm regions. Sweet and juicy with orange flesh and black seeds, papaya is rich in nutrients. It’s an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and potassium, as well as antioxidants like carotenoids, which support immune health and skin vitality. Papaya contains the enzyme papain, promoting digestive health and aiding in the breakdown of proteins. Its high fiber content contributes to gut health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Low in calories and fat, papaya is considered heart-healthy and beneficial for weight management. Commonly used in smoothies, fruit salads, salsas, and savory dishes like Thai green papaya salad, it’s a versatile addition to global cuisines. However, individuals allergic to latex may need caution due to similar proteins found in papaya.
