Since we have Papayas growing in our garden we always have them and I use both raw and ripe papayas..Raw papaya curry is very tasty and it is also ground and added to meat while cooking , acts as a tenderiser. Half ripe papaya along with other raw vegetables is excellent for salads. Other than using Papaya as a fruit, we can use it in salads , make Halwa and milk shake both of which are very tasty ..
Papaya is the fruit of angels and wonders. It is quite useful fruit. It is a laxative and good for digestion. It is also full of many vitamins and minerals. It is good for skin and helps in making the skin charming and young therefore, it is quite useful in the facials. However, papaya is not to be used as a first meal because of the laxative properties and it is considered the best to be eaten after the meals. Unripe papayas are used as vegetables. Ripe papayas are used as a raw fruit and it tastes good in ice-creams and also when baked.
Papaya is a fruit endowed with a plethora of health benefits.
Papayas are a good source of folate, vitamin A, magnesium, copper, pantothenic acid and fiber. They also have B vitamins, alpha and beta carotene, lutein and zeaxanthan, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, vitamin K and lycopene, the powerful antioxidant most commonly associated with tomatoes.
