Contact SupplierWe are offering red lady papaya.
Papaya is a fruit. Once considered an exotic fruit, papayas'
rise in popularity has made them more easily available.
papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as
long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the
market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one
pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either
yellow or pink hues.
papaya has a wonderfully soft, butter-like consistency and a
deliciously sweet, musky taste. Inside the inner cavity
of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a
gelatinous-like substance. Papaya's seeds are edible,
although their
peppery flavor is somewhat bitter.
the fruit, as well as the other parts of the papaya tree,
contain papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. This
enzyme is especially concentrated in the fruit when it is
unripe. Papain is extracted to make digestive enzyme
dietary supplements and is also used as an ingredient in some chewing gums
