Papaya, a tropical fruit, boasts a vibrant sunset hue on its smooth skin when ripe and contains an abundance of soft, coral-colored flesh with a sweet and subtle melon-like flavor. Inside, nestled within a central cavity, lies a cluster of round, shiny, and edible black seeds that impart a peppery bite. The fruit can be sliced and enjoyed raw, its juicy and buttery texture making for a refreshing treat, or it can be used in smoothies, salads, salsas, and desserts. Papaya is not only a delight to the palate but also a powerhouse of nutrition with enzymes like papain that aid digestion, and a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and fiber.
At Fresh Harvest we prioritize working with local producers and upholding our sourcing standards. To curate the best quality and quantity of produce we will sometimes pull from a variety of producers. We look to other growing regions for those items that are impossible or difficult to consistently grow well in our region. Any produce coming from out-of-state will be clearly labelled with it's place of origin.
