About One cup of papaya
Papaya, a tropical fruit native to Central America, is celebrated for its sweet, tangy flavor and vibrant orange flesh. One cup of diced papaya (approximately 140 grams) is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and potassium, while being low in calories—just about 60 per serving. Papaya is packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene and lycopene, which contribute to skin health and may help reduce inflammation. It also contains papain, a natural enzyme that aids in digestion. Popular in Caribbean, Southeast Asian, and Latin American cuisines, papaya is often enjoyed fresh, in salads, smoothies, or desserts. Its high water content supports hydration, while dietary fiber promotes gut health. However, individuals with latex allergies should consume papaya with caution, as it may trigger a reaction. Overall, this delicious fruit offers a refreshing and nutrient-packed addition to a balanced diet.
