I heard once that papaya grew so fast you could plant a Papaya and eat
the fruit before you died of starvation


The black seeds are edible and have a sharp, spicy taste.
They are sometimes ground up and used as a substitute for black pepper.


The young leaves of papaya are steamed and eaten like spinach


Papaya is rich in an enzyme called papain, a protease which is useful in tenderizing meat


Papaya is marketed in tablet form to remedy digestive problems.


Green papaya as a folk remedy for contraception


Papaya is frequently used as a hair conditioner
