Papaya

This fruit is called “Papaya.” We gather this in our farm in the province. It is very sweet and similar to taste of peach.

Papaya can be eaten ripe and unripe. The green papaya is the unripe and it is usually used as a vegetable. In our country Philippine, we used to mix this in our specialty recipe which is called “Tinola.” We also used it as pickles.

Papaya fruit is also used as tenderizer, grind the green papaya and mix it to the meat. Ripe papaya fruit is also use to remedy digestive system. And it is also rich in Vitamin A.
