Vegetable papaya (green papaya)
Papaya picked green, firm and crunchy, to cook as a vegetable.
Vegetable papaya is a papaya harvested before ripeness. Its white to pale green flesh stays firm and crunchy, with a neutral flavour that absorbs seasoning well. Grated raw, it is the base of lively, spicy salads; cooked, it is handled like a squash, in a gratin, a stew or as an accompaniment to meat.
