Get flavor and nutrition with our Fresh Papaya. Papaya is a tropical fruit that originated in the tropics of the Americas and is known to be a great source of vitamins C, A, fiber, and antioxidants. When ripe, this fruit has a butter-like texture with a fairly sweet flavor similar to cantaloupe and can be eaten raw, without skin or seeds. Papaya can be prepared in a variety of ways; you can mix them with grapefruit and avocado for a bright summer salad, add them to a zesty salsa for some sweetness, freeze them and turn them into refreshing popsicle spears, or bake them in the oven with a melted brown sugar mixture. The sky's the limit! Get ready for a taste-bud party with Fresh Papaya.
