FAQs about papayas
There are numerous varieties of papayas, and each one has a slightly different flavor, texture, and unique characteristics. The most common varieties you can find in the market include:
- Hawaiian Sunrise Papaya: This popular papaya has beautiful orange flesh with a delightful flavor. The flavors are a mixture of peaches, melons, and berries.
- Hawaiian Sunset Papaya: Like its larger cousin, the Hawaiian Sunset is a much smaller dwarf variety, with a star-shaped interior and a longer shelf life.
- Golden Papaya: This is the common papaya you'll find in most supermarkets. The flesh is sweet, juicy, versatile, and great as a breakfast treat, in salads, and in smoothies.
- Tainung Papaya: One of the most common papayas you'll find is the Tainung papaya. This fruit has yellow skin with lots of green mottling. This flesh is salmon-colored with a sweet and mild flavor. The large black seeds are ideal for making papaya seed salad dressing.
- Maradol Papaya: Grown primarily in Mexico, this common papaya has bright orange flesh with a slight, distinct, musky scent. Slice or cube the fruit and squeeze a bit of lime juice and a pinch of cayenne pepper for the ultimate flavor experience.
- Strawberry Papaya: This small-sized papaya has one of the sweetest flavors of all the other papaya varieties. The fruit taste like a combination of peach and melon and a little squeeze of lime will add a touch of acid to enhance the flavor of this papaya fruit.
