Papaya Knowledge Introduction

Papaya (Carica papaya) is the mature fruit of the deciduous shrub Carica papaya or papaya of the Rosaceae family. The former is commonly known as "wrinkled papaya" and the latter is commonly known as "smooth papaya". It is mainly produced in Anhui, Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan and other places. The one produced in Xuancheng, Anhui is called "Xuan papaya" and has better quality. The fruit is picked when it is green and yellow in summer and autumn. The wrinkled papaya is blanched in water until the skin is grayish white, then cut in half lengthwise and dried in the sun; the smooth papaya is cut into two or four pieces lengthwise, blanched in boiling water, and then dried in the sun. Slice and use raw.

Papaya, which is eaten as a fruit, is actually papaya. It has a smooth and beautiful skin, thick and delicate flesh, rich aroma, abundant juice, sweet and delicious, and rich nutrition. It is elegantly known as the "fruit of a hundred benefits", "the king of fruits", and "the melon of longevity". It is one of the four famous fruits in Lingnan. Papaya is rich in more than 17 kinds of amino acids, calcium, iron, etc. It also contains papain, papain, etc. Half a medium-sized papaya is enough to provide an adult with the vitamin C needed for the whole day. Papaya is known as the "longevity fruit" in China. As the name suggests, eating more can prolong life.

1. Tips for buying papaya: There are male and female papayas. Male papayas are oval, heavy, with few seeds and firm flesh, and a sweet and fragrant taste. Female papayas are slightly longer, with many seeds and loose flesh, and a slightly worse taste. Raw or half-cooked papayas are more suitable for making soup; if you want to eat it as a raw fruit, you should buy a relatively ripe papaya. When the papaya is ripe, the skin is yellow and the taste is particularly sweet. If the skin has black spots, it has begun to deteriorate, and the sweetness, fragrance and nutrition have been destroyed.

2. The papain in papaya is slightly toxic to the human body. Do not eat too much at a time. People with allergies should be careful when eating it. The reason why you cannot eat papaya during pregnancy is that it may cause uterine contraction and abdominal pain, but it will not affect the fetus.
