I see papaya whenever I visit a big super-center such as Walmart. It seems many papaya consumers in the USA.
Papaya is believed as native fruit from South America, then spread all over tropical countries.
People consume papaya for many purposes:
- source of nutrients
- medicine
- as vegetable in form of salad.
- used as a natural tenderize
In some tropical countries, people use papaya as a natural tenderizer for meat and chicken.
In addition to papaya, they use the following items:
- tea
- ginger
- pineapple
However, it is said that papaya is one of the best “traditional” tenderizers. Easy and cheap to get it.
Papaya contain Proteolytic enzymes called as papain. This enzyme could break collagen (proteins) down. Hence, our meat will be tender.
The price of papaya is quite cheap, less than US$ 2 per pound, and even cheaper in ethnic groceries.
We consume this fruit as source of nutrients. Papaya riches in:
- fiber
- vitamins (C, A, B9)
- Potassium
- carbohydrates
Have you tried papaya? What do you like of papaya?
I have never tried it’s very expensive this far north, the miles it has to travel to reach us. By the time it gets here the quality is poor. I have heard it’s good for tenderizing though,
ReplyDeleteHi Laurie, when papayas mature in the trees, they are so good, so flavorful, and so sweet :)
DeleteThe green ones (immature) are great for salads. Thai papaya salad is my fave salad when I go to Thai restaurants.
I like it but rarely eat.

No es de mis preferidas pero es muy buena para la digestión ya que tiene una enzima llamada papaína,tiene un alto contenido en fibras, es un buen laxante.

Me gusta la papa en jugos por lo genera la hago mezclada con naranja. No sabia que se podía utilizar de ablandador. Te mando un beso
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I dont like papaya but my hubby does.
ReplyDeleteI think so. And I also like to use pineapple and ginger.
ReplyDeleteMy Darling Evi! Thank you for telling about papaya, but I've never tries it. It is not on sale in our shops.
ReplyDeletePapaya is, along with melon, one of the few fruits that I don't like or that I can't find the flavor for, rather. All the fruit universe fascinates me, but not papaya and melon.
ReplyDeleteHugs even bigger than papayas and melons, Evi.
I've never tried... thanks for your sharing:)
ReplyDeleteSi amiga, si puede hacer suave la carne, yo la uso y me da buenos resultados. Saludos.

Hola! a mi es una fruta que no me termina de gustar. Besos
ReplyDeletePero que fruta más deliciosa la papaya! Y sabes tengo una costumbre la fruta sólo helada me gusta!
ReplyDeleteBesotes Amiga bella!!
Yes, I often eat papaya fruit. In our country there are several types of papaya fruit, namely:
ReplyDeletePapaya Thailand, Papaya Mexico and Papaya California. But that is just the name only, all of them come from our country. Of the three types of Thai papaya, the largest size is less sweet and has a mushy texture, a lot of water content and crumbles easily, I don't like this type. I prefer to choose the Mexican Papaya and California Papaya which even though they are small in length, they taste sweet and have a dense and coarse texture. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice weekend
Regards
¿te puedes creer que nunca he probado la papaya? quiero probarla, buen post
ReplyDeletepapaya is good for digestion, for those who have diabetes, because papaya is not too sweet
