Papaya grows among beautiful ‘five petal’ flowers. It is for the Caribbean inhabitants what apples are for the Europeans.
Papaya pulp is reddish, its skin is yellow-green, its seeds are black and it is shaped like a large pear. It is considered one of the most perfectly shaped fruit that nature has created.
Frudiva uses the Maradol variety.
The papaya is an exquisite sweet fruit that combines well with citrics.
Papaya is a very digestive fruit, thanks to ‘papain’ which is an enzyme that can be found within this fruit and acts like gastric juices. The enzyme helps to dissolve the fat left in the body. Papaya has a very high vitamin A and C content, for which it is recommended for diets rich in sodium. Papaya contains also carotene lycopene, which is a natural pigment that acts as an antioxidant.
