Shredded Green Papaya Salad, traditionally known as "Som Tam" in Thai cuisine, is a vibrant and refreshing dish made from unripe green papaya, thinly shredded into crisp strands. The salad typically includes a mix of tomatoes, green beans, garlic, chili peppers, roasted peanuts, and lime juice, with fish sauce or tamarind added for robust flavor. Originating in Southeast Asia, it balances salty, sour, spicy, and sweet notes, making it a staple of Thai street food. Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, green papaya promotes digestive health and supports immune function. The lime juice adds a dose of vitamin C, while the peanuts provide healthy fats and protein. However, sodium levels can be high due to fish sauce, so moderation is key. Low in calories but nutrient-rich, this salad is an excellent choice for a light yet flavorful option in a balanced diet.
