Delectable Baby Papayas are the perfect single-serving size; papayas are 7-8” long and 4” in diameter featuring vibrant salmon-red flesh and delicious cantaloupe flavor notes. The meat is soft, smooth, juicy and refreshing—perfect for a vacation-vibe breakfast or mid-day snack!
This variety may remain mostly green even when fully ripe. To determine ripeness, apply gentle pressure to the skin; it should be soft to the touch (similar to a ripe peach).
To prepare, cut in half lengthwise and scoop out the small black seeds from the center. Papaya may then be eaten with a spoon or peeled with a vegetable peeler and cut into slices. Discard seeds.
Baby Papayas are grown using traditional methods and are Non-GMO. Store at room temperature.
