Eat cut papaya within two days to enjoy its peak flavors and texture. Maradol papayas do not freeze well because they tend to become mushy after defrosting.
Most of the Maradol papayas on the supermarket shelves will be at least slightly green. Thankfully, Maradol papayas will continue to ripen after harvest. Leave your papayas on your kitchen counter, away from direct sunlight, until they are at least 75% yellow. Ripening can take anywhere from three to five days.
To speed up the ripening process, place your Maradol papaya in a loosely closed paper bag, or place it on the counter next to a few apples. Apples release ethylene, a chemical that speeds up the ripening process. Either method will ripen your Maradol papayas in a few days.
