Papayas grow well in South Africa especially in the coastal ares. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that aids digestion; besides eating the fruit, we use the leaves as a meat tenderizer. Papaya is also high in fiber and water content, both of which help to prevent constipation and promote regularity and a healthy digestive tract.
Papaya is definitely a cheap fruit with great health benefits
Thanks, Tasartcraft for commenting. Regards. Andre’
I have chronic constipation, bloating and distended stomach. I have started using papaya to help in digestion.
Hello Introvert, you don’t say if your symptoms have started easing off yet. Kindly share your experience here, either positive or not, will be welcome to help people who want to try it. Thanks. Andre’
Hello Andre. I started eating last week when I read an article on the benefits of papaya. I bought one last week. I forgot to buy another one till I read your article. I have bought another pawpaw.
I will post my results after a week or two weeks. Thanks Andre.
Papaya is a common fruit here and they grow in our garden too. I love papayas.
Excellent post, thanks for sharing
Hello Branka, I wonder if your name is similar in meaning to Bianca in Italian, or Blanke in Afrikaans, (my language) and White in English? Mmm, curious. The more I find different new names for people and things in life, the more I discover that we are all one huge family. Thank you for commenting, regards, Andre’
I am mostly a theoretical fan of papaya. There no places near me where I can buy it fresh. Only dried.
Natalya if you can get them even dried they are healthy. Perhaps the only problem worth mentioning, is that all the vitamins and sugars are concentrated so it it is best not to eat too much at once. Have a wonderful weekend! Regards, Andre’
Yes, they are very nutritious and delicious. Nice post.
Hello Maggie, so sorry I missed your comment here. Thank you for commenting. Andre’
