Papaya, or “papayón,” is a fruit of tropical climates. Its taste is sweet, with a vibrant color, and it offers a wide range of health benefits, making it a popular fruit. Papaya, once considered an exotic and uncommon fruit, is now available during most seasons of the year.
The potential health benefits of consuming papaya include a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer; improvements in digestion, reduced blood pressure, and enhanced wound healing. For these reasons, papaya is the third most consumed tropical fruit in the world.
