Description
Green Papaya, also known as Raw Papaya or Kacha Papita, is a firm, pale green fruit used as a vegetable in Indian, Nepali, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Unlike ripe papaya, green papaya has a neutral, slightly starchy flavor and a crisp texture that absorbs spices beautifully. It’s prized for its digestive benefits and is often used in curries, stir-fries, stews, and even salads like the famous Thai Som Tam.
- Flavor Profile: Mild, slightly nutty, and starchy with a firm, crisp texture.
- Common Uses: Curries, stews, stir-fries, soups, chutneys, and raw salads.
- Storage: Store unpeeled in the refrigerator for up to a week. Once cut, use within 2–3 days.
Tip: Peel and deseed before use. For a flavorful Indian-style curry, cook it with ginger, garlic, turmeric, and cumin. Or try it grated raw with lime juice and chili for a tangy, refreshing salad!
