Carica Papaya

     I found a huge ripe papaya, scientifically is Carica Papaya, in my niece's nearby lot. I made sure I get this for seedling purposes as it is about a foot long.

Carica Papaya or papaw

      Papaya is an excellent anti-oxidant and high fiber fruit which is beneficial for high blood individuals. It's a cheap fruit yet it provides a lot of health benefits. It is easy to propagate as the seeds are easy to grow. I remember my Malaysian Chinese friends used to tell me it reduces libido, whether it's true or not, I have no idea.

 

     I read somewhere online these benefits of eating papaya.

1. Nutritious

2. High anti-oxidant content

3. Anticancer

4. Improves heart health

5. May fight inflammation

6. May improve digestion 

7. Protects skin damage

8. Delicious and versatile
