Fresh Tropical Fruit

The Maradol papaya is juicy and sweetly mild in flavor. Ripe when the thick skin turns from yellow to bright orange, it's reddish-pinkish on the inside and has a wide pocket of edible black seeds that taste peppery. If you prefer a seed-free experience, simply scoop them out and cut papaya into chunks for salads and smoothies.
