Selection, Care & Handling

It’s easy to select delicious papayas! To eat right away, look for fruit that’s mostly yellow in color and slightly soft to the touch. Papayas that are mostly green with a bit of yellow color, and firm, will be ready to eat in a few days. Most papayas at the supermarket need to be ripened at home. When choosing papayas, simply look for ones green to yellow in color to take home, ripen and enjoy!
