I came up with two great uses over the years; however, I am not the only one, other talented food blogger friends got some fantastic papaya recipe ideas as well.
It doesn't have to be always papaya juice or papaya milkshake, no, you can go beyond your fruity breakfast bowl with papaya.
Furthermore, you shouldn't limit yourself to just sweetened papaya recipes.
In fact, Papaya is one of these wonder fruits, which is, in fact, quite essential in the kitchen.
You see, green papaya makes a wonderful meat tenderizer.
This is well known to countries near the equator, where papayas grow, as it is used to make beef, goat and mutton meat super tender.
So, in that way the green Papaya has a special place in the meat preparation.
Yet, you can make sure that there are other amazing tasty ways to enjoy a freshly, bright orange, ripened Papaya or also a green crunchy Papaya.
I asked my friends recently to share their MOST favorite Papaya recipes and I turned it into this great papaya recipes collection!
You can go through the collection of papaya recipes.
You will find sweet and savory Papaya Recipes, desserts, appetizers, salads and beverages.
All are from scratch freshly prepared papaya recipes, and each has been thoroughly developed and tested.
To get to the recipe, just click on the title or picture.

If you do not have the proper antidote at hand to treat contact with jelly fish (Medusa) or other insect stings try Sap from papaya plant or from green papaya. The papain in the juice denatures some of the toxins
