A tropical fruit with an exotic name; the papaya.
Papayas originate in Central America and grow in most countries with a tropical climate.
Despite previously being thought of as “exotic” they are now easy to find in most countries due to the global fruit trade.
The fruit has a smooth outer skin and a soft, reddish-orange flesh inside.
Papayas also have a striking appearance, and look like a cross between a giant pear and butternut squash. In terms of flavor, they are not dissimilar to mangoes but they are less sweet in nature.
Similar to most brightly colored fruits, they contain a wealth of polyphenols, and they provide the following nutrients per cup (140g).
