Papaya
The Brazilian papaya is
a typical fruit from tropical and subtropical areas. Grown year-round,
its pulp is soft and very aromatic, with colors ranging from orange to
salmon, depending on the degree of ripeness. The skin is normally thin,
smooth and fairly tough, sticking to the pulp and with a dark-green color
that turns orange-yellow as the fruit ripens. With their exclusive, delicate
and refreshing flavor, Brazilian papayas are an excellent day-to-day alternative,
both in their natural state, as a dessert, or in the form of an exotic
papaya cream, for example. There is nothing tastier and healthier.
Nutrition Proprieties
The Brazilian papaya is
an excellent source of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium and other minerals
and fibers. Furthermore, it contains papain, an important enzyme that is
an efficient digestive supplement, helping to digest proteins.
