Papaya is a magic fruit found extensively across India, Pakistan, and South-East Asia. The fruit has magical qualities and should be an essential part of the diet in hot and humid climates. Papaya is frequently used in cooking as it acts as a meat tenderizer. Papaya is commonly used to make puree, juices, preserves, jams, and jellies. 

Amazing health benefits of consuming papaya:

• Anti-Cancer effects
• Anti- Inflammatory effect
• Digestive health benefits 
• Great for liver health

People suffering from stomach problems or liver problems should use papaya on a regular basis as this fruit has some essential enzyme that helps in digestion and fights the bacteria in the tummy. 

Another variation of the same variety is paw paw fruit which is commonly grown in Australia. Paw paw is a different fruit from papaya.  Papaya is more reddish in colour as compared to paw paw which is more yellowish.

One of my favourite Thai Salads, Green Papaya Salad is a very popular dish in Thailand. This is one of the most commonly ordered dishes along with Pad Thai in any Thai restaurant in the world.
