Fruits are generally eaten raw, without skin or seeds. Green, unripe papaya fruits can be consumed in salads and stews. It has a relatively high amount of pectin that can be used to make jams. The black seeds have a strong taste but are edible. Sometimes they are ground and used as a substitute for black pepper. In some parts of Asia, young papaya leaves are cooked and eaten like spinach. In some parts of the world, the leaves are made into tea to prevent malaria, although there is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of this treatment.
Uses:
This fruit (in smoothies) has primarily been used for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders (such as gastritis or gastric or duodenal ulcers) as well as for conditions like colon diverticulitis. It is also a good wound healer, helping to cure mouth ulcers. It has been shown that its skin helps exfoliate the skin, although its effect can be somewhat aggressive, so it is not recommended to leave it on for too long. This exotic fruit has significant nutritional values, containing large amounts of Vitamin C and A, as well as a well-known mineral like Potassium. It also contains an enzyme called Papain, which improves digestive problems and, with its very low caloric content, is especially recommended for controlling body weight. It provides about 140 calories per fruit.
Among its benefits, we can mention:
