The papaya is a huge berry that weighs from 1 to 5 kilos.
Native to the Americas, the papaya was introduced to Africa and India by the Spanish in the mid-16th century.
For the Spanish, this fruit, discovered upon their arrival in South America, reminded them somewhat of a melon.
Did you know that the pulp isn't the only attraction of this fruit?
When unripe, the skin of the fruit secretes a latex collected by incision. Its rapid coagulation in the sun or artificially allows the recovery of a juice from which a useful enzyme, papain, is extracted.
in pharmacopoeia. This latex is also used to make chewing gum.
Pre-Columbian Caribbean peoples treated digestive disorders and other ailments with the green fruit, its seeds, and its juice.
In food, the leaves of the papaya tree were used to tenderize meat.
In Asia, pieces of green papaya are added to cook octopus because the papain contained in the fruit tenderizes the cephalopods' flesh.

By adding lemon juice, a little chili, fish or oyster sauce, you can create a vinaigrette for a Thai salad with shrimp tails, tomato, and fruit. Make a syrup with the vinegar for fresh pineapple slices.
Drizzle a little of my vinegar over fish cooked en papillote with vegetables.
At the end of cooking a beef steak in butter, deglaze with the vinegar to obtain a tangy jus.
