Sweet, luscious, rich orange in colour with yellow and pink hues; these characteristics belong to none other than a ripe delicious Papaya. Once an exotic fruit; this was famously known as the ‘fruit of angels’ by Christopher Columbus.
Papayas are now available through out the year in the markets; they are arich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, vitamin C and flavonoids; the B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acid; and the minerals, potassium and magnesium; and fiber.
Together, these nutrients promote the health of the cardiovascular system and also provide protection against colon cancer. In addition, papaya contains the digestive enzyme,papain, which helps to treat sports injuries, other causes of trauma, and allergies.
This fruit blends up smooth which is perfect for cool drinks or smoothies, though I love eating papaya's; at times I find the strong smell a bit repulsive. The best way to fix that and avoid too many calories by turning it into a sweet milkshake I found this cooler to be a perfect mix of health and taste!
Note: I dint add sugar as the fruit was sweet enough to satiate my sweet tooth, trust me it tasted delicious!
