Papaya

​

​Harvest time: All year round (green cut, for vegetables)

​

A little quirky as a fruit, but once you get used to it, it's addictive and delicious♪

If you pour lemon juice and honey over it, mash it and freeze it, it turns into papaya sorbet!

​

The green unripe papayas are also used as vegetables.

It contains plenty of proteolytic enzymes and is an essential ingredient in meat and vegetable chanpuru, an Okinawan stir fly dish.
