Papaya

GOLDEN

It has a pear shape and an average weight of 500g. It has a good quality orange-red pulp and a starry internal cavity with a softer texture. It can be consumed when the skin is over 50% yellow, since that is the point of ideal flavor and texture.

FORMOSA

Because it is rich in fiber, it is beneficial for bowel function. The orange color comes from lycopene, which because it is a carotenoid is an antioxidant. It has a firm and reddish pulp, and should be consumed at a point of maturity where the rind is at least 80% yellow.
