How do we use this product?

Its flavor is best when cold, so it’s a good idea to keep it refrigerated whenever possible. After washing it well, you can cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and eat it out of the rind with a spoon, like cantaloupe or melon.

As it’s incredibly versatile, it can also be combined with other foods that complement its flavor.

Here are a few easy recipe ideas using one small papaya:

• Breakfast: Cut it in half and fill each half with Greek yogurt, then top with a few blueberries and chopped nuts.
• Appetizer: Cut it into strips and wrap a slice of ham or prosciutto around each strip.
• Salsa: Chop papaya, tomatoes, onions and cilantro, then add lime juice and mix well.
• Smoothie: Combine the diced fruit with coconut milk and ice in a blender, then blend until smooth.
• Salad: Chop papaya and avocado into cubes, add diced cooked chicken and dress with olive oil and vinegar.
• Dessert: Combine the chopped fruit with 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of chia seeds, 1 cup (240 ml) of almond milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well and refrigerate before eating
