Fruit Creatures : Papaya

ℹ️ The papaya, scientifically known as Carica papaya, belongs to the Caricaceae family. Native to Central America, papayas have spread globally in tropical and subtropical regions. This large, tropical fruit with orange flesh is renowned for its sweet taste and digestive enzymes. Papayas thrive in well-drained soil and warm climates. Notably, papayas contain papain, an enzyme with meat-tenderizing properties. The tree-like plants bear single-stemmed fruits, and while most papayas are sweet, some varieties, like the Mexican papaya, are known for their buttery flavor. Major producers include India, Brazil, and Indonesia. Papayas contribute to culinary delights and tropical landscapes worldwide.
