Healthy you papaya

The papaya tree is mainly grown for its delicious fruit, the papaya. However, this plant is just as good for health. In this case, it can be consumed in different ways: raw, fermented, in juice or simply as a fruit.


Papaya is very rich in antioxidants, which allows it to reduce oxidative stress syndrome in seniors and intellectual stress.

On the other hand, papaya acts on liver disease. It acts as a natural detoxifier. It helps eliminate toxins and toxic substances from the liver.


The papain enzyme also helps relieve wounds, allergies and digestion. Fermented papaya has an immunostimulant property, beneficial during smoking cessation and fight against alcohol.

In addition, papaya is highly appreciated for its anti-aging capacity thanks to vitamin C, vitamin E and beta-carotene. In addition, this fruit contains nutrients that moisturize and soften the skin.

In cooking, papaya is used as a meat tenderizer. Papain can, in fact, weaken the resistant protein chains in meat muscles.
