Like it's tropical companion, mango, the papaya is as common to natives of the Tropic of Cancer as apples and oranges are to Americans. The Fresh King papaya hails from Brazil, and is pink-fleshed, yellow-skinned and pear shaped with an aromatic pulp. This variety is unusually sweet and smooth, well suited to salads, fruit cups, shakes or cooked with meat or seafood. An extremely rich source of vitamins (with about 3 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange), the papaya is often considered one of nature's most perfect fruits. |
