Papaya
Papaya is a tropical fruit known for its oval shape and yellowish-green to orange skin, with reddish or orange flesh, a soft, juicy texture, and numerous black seeds inside. Its flavor is sweet and mild, often described as a cross between a melon and an apricot, with a tropical aroma. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants such as lycopene, and papain, an enzyme that facilitates protein digestion. It is perfect for eating fresh as a fruit and in preparations such as juices, smoothies, jams, and desserts.
