Solo Papaya Carica
Papaya
Generally, the Papaya is oval to nearly round, somewhat
pyriform, or elongated 22 to 30 cm long and 10 to 12 thick. The
skin of the ripe fruit is waxy and thin, with colors ranging from
green to yellow to orange. The thick wall of succulent flesh becomes
aromatic, yellow, orange or various shades of salmon or red. The
flesh is juicy, sweetish and somewhat like a cantaloupe in flavor.
Attached lightly to the wall by soft, white, fibrous tissue, are
usually numerous small, black, ovoid,
seeds. The Baby Papaya is much smaller than the normal Papaya found
in the market and, because of its greater sweetness, the flavour
is unanimously prefered over the normal Papaya.
