Grown in Mexico, the Mexican papaya is somewhat larger than its Hawaiian counterpart, and is also considered one of the fastest growing tropical fruits available today. Besides, this fruit turns greenish-yellow with shades of orange, not to mention that its flesh is somewhat similar to a melon’s with its firmness and juiciness. As for the flavor, it is not quite as sweet as the common papaya, yet this variety makes yummy marinades, ice cream, sauces, smoothies and bread. And like all papayas, the Mexican papaya places first among fruits in the content of vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, niacin, calcium, folate, riboflavin, thiamine, potassium and fiber. It also contains a beneficial enzyme, papain that aids digestion. As a matter of fact, consuming the antioxidant beta-carotene, found in papayas, may reduce cancer risk.
