Distinguishing Types of Papayas in the Market

Papaya is a familiar and popular fruit in Vietnam. Thanks to the variety of types, consumers can easily choose their favorite products, depending on their preferences and needs:

• Thai dwarf papaya: Originating from Thailand, this papaya variety is favored for its sweet taste, thick flesh, and characteristic aroma. The fruit usually has an average size of 1.5 – 2kg, few seeds, and is easy to separate the flesh. Thai dwarf papaya can be eaten directly, made into salads, smoothies, ice cream, or jam.
• Taiwanese papaya: Harvested from October to November every year, Taiwanese papaya stands out with its large fruit size, averaging from 1.5 – 3kg. The flesh has a beautiful red-orange color, a moderately sweet taste, and a hard shell that is less prone to bruising, making it convenient for transportation.
• Yellow-fleshed papaya: This is a domestic papaya variety with an average weight of about 1.5kg. The advantage of this type of papaya is its attractive bright yellow color and characteristic sweet aroma.
• Red-fleshed papaya: Oval-shaped with a pointed head, the skin is yellow and green when ripe. The highlight of this papaya variety is its crispness and aroma, however, the sweetness is less than other types.

Tips for Choosing Delicious, Naturally Ripened Papayas

To choose delicious and naturally ripened papayas, you can refer to some of the following small tips:

• Observe the stem: The stem of naturally ripened papaya will turn yellow. Therefore, you should avoid choosing fruits with green stems but the fruit is already golden yellow because it may have been artificially ripened.
• Based on shape: Usually, you should choose long papayas that feel heavy in your hand and still have sticky sap on the stem. These fruits will be sweet, fragrant, have few seeds, and thick flesh. At the same time, you should avoid round and large fruits with dry stems because they may be artificially ripened.
• Based on color: Naturally ripened papayas are usually not evenly ripe, may have a layer of white mold on the surface and a few black spots or small dents. Also, you should not buy fruits with shiny skin that feel hard to the touch even though the skin is already yellow.
• Press on the surface of the fruit: If the papaya is ripe on the tree, when you gently press on it, the outer skin will be evenly soft. If the skin is hard, does not dent but is already yellow, it may be artificially ripened.
