Papaya 1kg

Green papaya is the unripe form of the tropical papaya fruit from the plant Carica papaya. It has firm pale green or white flesh, green skin, and a mild, slightly tangy flavor that is less sweet than ripe papaya. Because of its crisp texture, green papaya is often used as a vegetable in cooking rather than eaten as a fruit. It is commonly shredded for salads such as Thai papaya salad (som tam), or cooked in soups, curries, stir-fries, and pickles. Green papaya is also nutritious, containing vitamin C, fiber, and the enzyme papain, which helps with digestion and tenderizes meat.
