【How to Choose Papaya?】
If you plan to eat it on the same day, choose papayas that are fully yellow. Gently press the belly of the fruit, and if it feels slightly soft, it is ripe.
Choose papayas with large bellies, as this indicates that the flesh is thick. The best part of the papaya is the belly.
Inspect the condition of the stem to determine if the papaya is fresh. If it is not fresh, it will taste bitter.
The skin of the papaya should be smooth and it should feel heavy in your hand with lots of juice.
