Description

Papaya fruit has so many wonderful attributes in addtion to its stunning color and delicious sweet taste and smooth texture.  The fruit is always a delicious snack and treat at any time of the day and year.  This exotic fruit is one of the best.

The papaya fruit was first written about in 1526 by Oviedo, A Spanish chronicler. Its delicious taste has also excited the taste buds of the great explorer, Christopher Columbus to make him declare the fruit as “the fruit of angels.” The fruit only thrives in tropical climates which, of course, makes them an exotic treat to have in colder-climates.

The short shelf life of the freshly picked version of this fruit other limited its availability to colder climates, so many people walk by it even today in the produce aisle of their grocery store. However, the creation of the dried variety of fruits and nuts has greatly resolved this problem and created a tasty sweet snack food in the process.

Dried and cubed papaya can now be found at any time of the day and year. The longer shelf-life (well over six months whether it is stored in the fridge or pantry) has given everyone the chance to enjoy this wonderful treat anytime and all the time.
