Green papaya is a very useful fruit, full of essential nutrients and enzymes to promote digestive health.
Since enzyme levels decline as the fruit ripens, raw papaya is preferred to make the best use of all of its natural enzymatic qualities.

Yesterday morning when I was cooking lunch for my family , I noticed a green big papaya in my refrigerator. Should I make use of it? I thought. None in the family has ever liked eating papaya at all. For that matter, not even the elders . They know all the benefits of the vegetable; but when it comes to papaya ...its always a NO! :D
Anyways, I thought of taking a chance and made it in a different manner. May be they will like it. :)
