Posted by Joshua

The papaya is a fruit that comes from the heart of Mexico and Central America, and is said to have several benefits for fruit lovers everywhere, including digestive, medicinal, and also nutritional. The fruit grows on their trees at the very top of the trunk, where it appears orange with a tint of pink and yellow, and bears a soft texture with a rich, sweet flavor.

Papaya fruit, as stated previously, bares a variety of benefits for your body. They are an excellent source of many essential vitamins, such as Vitamin A, which helps improve vision and the appearance of skin, Vitamin C, which boosts your immune system and acts as an anti-inflammatory, and Vitamin B-1 and B-6, which are essential for metabolism. The fruit also provides an excellent source of potassium, calcium, and dietary fibers to help regulate your body. Other health benefits that come from eating the papaya are absolutely no cholesterol intake, and a very low calorie count; There are only 39 calories per every 100 grams of the fruit.

Aside from the complete source of essential vitamins and minerals that are contained in the papaya, the small, black seeds produced inside the fruit have been found to be useful in traditional medicines, acting as an anti-inflammatory and an anti-parasitic. They have been used commonly to relieve stomach aches and help fight ringworm infections as well.

There are a few warnings when it comes to eating the fruit. Unripened papaya can be harmful to ingest because it contains a high level of papain, which is a proteolytic enzyme, and carpaine, which is an alkaloid that when ingested in higher doses can become very dangerous. Overall, the safest and best way to eat a papaya raw is when it is at the peak of ripeness; However, it can be eaten when it is unripened as long as it is cooked, like you would cook and steam vegetables.
