Welcome to the world of papayas! If you’re just getting started with your papaya journey, here are some tips to make sure you get the most out of your shopping experience.
The first step is to figure out what type of papaya you want. Many people opt for ripeness levels that range from green, slightly yellow, and golden-yellow. Once you have established the right ripeness, there are a few other factors to consider.
Size is important - if you plan to use the papaya quickly, look for fruits that are between 7 and 8 inches in length. Larger papayas can last longer, but they are usually better for cooking or making smoothies than eating raw.
Next, take a look at the surface of the fruit. Ripe papayas should have a smooth, light golden color and no blemishes or discoloration. Avoid any fruits with signs of damage or rotting. Once you’ve found the perfect papaya, place it in a paper bag to help it ripen faster.
Finally, be sure to store your papayas in the refrigerator. This will keep them fresh and ready to eat for at least two weeks. Now that you know how to buy and store papayas, you’re ready to savor the sweet, tropical flavor of these delicious fruits!
