Papaya is Available! 🧡

Now is the best time of year to enjoy Papaya!

Papaya's rich flavor profile is sure to awaken your senses. Its flavor is mostly sweet with some malty notes, and its texture is reminiscent of mango.

When it's time to enjoy a delicious papaya, look for the telltale signs of ripeness: most of the skin should be a sunny shade of yellow and it should have some give when squeezed.

Cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Savor the sweet, juicy flesh.

Here's some inspiration for a delicious smoothie to satisfy your papaya cravings:

Passionfruit Heaven Smoothie:
○ 1 small or half-large papaya
○ 2 large passionfruits or 6 small passionfruit
○ 5 frozen Mysore bananas
○ Water
○ Key lime (optional)

The passionfruit almost gives this smoothie an orange creamsicle flavor!
