- Choose fruits that are elongated or uniformly round, with a green skin and yellow speckles.
- When holding the papaya, it should feel firm and sturdy; the stem part should still be fresh and have sap flowing, which is the best sign.
How to prepare papaya without latex
- Use the tip of a knife to make a few cuts on the fruit’s surface, then soak it in a basin of water to remove all the latex. Next, wash it thoroughly, peel it, cut it open, remove the seeds, and discard the bitter core.
