Mature papaya is orange, with many spots and sticky to the touch. This papaya is rich in sugar and very sweet. The color is light, the spots are not mature enough and the flesh is not sweet. If there are mildew spots on the skin, it means it is overcooked and a little rotten. You'd better not buy it!

Second, look at the variety of papaya.

There are two kinds of papaya, green papaya and cooked papaya. Green papaya should be chosen with smooth skin, bright blue and no spots. This papaya can be used to make broth. If you want to make dessert or eat it directly, you need to buy cooked papaya. Cooked papaya should be light in hand, so the pulp of papaya is sweet, while heavy papaya is generally not fully mature and bitter.

Third, smell it.

Generally, mature papaya tastes delicious and smells sweet and thick, which is a good papaya. Papaya with light or even no taste is not ripe yet, and papaya with strange taste may be cooked or unhealthy!

Fourth, look at the pedicel of papaya.

If it is a newly picked papaya, the pedicel will flow like milk, so we can infer whether the melon is fresh by the pedicel. It should be noted that seedless and seedless papaya are just different varieties and have the same nutritional value!

Fifth, look at the "male and female" of papaya.

Papaya is also divided into male and female, and the older one is female. This kind of papaya is sweet and has thick pulp. In addition, when selecting papaya, the peel of papaya must be bright, the color should be uniform, and there should be no spots. When picking papaya, gently press its skin. Never buy leather pine. Papaya pulp must be strong, so it is delicious. It's also yellow papaya. Choose papaya with a big belly when choosing. The big belly proves that papaya is thick, and the most delicious part of papaya is the belly.

There are not many taboos for eating papaya, which is suitable for people of all physiques. But remind people with weak constitution to avoid eating chilled papaya or chilled papaya milk as far as possible to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. In addition, because papaya contains a female hormone, and green papaya is the most abundant, it is recommended that pregnant women should not eat more if they want to eat.
