I recently fell in love with this fruit because it's just so delicious and yummy and full of awesome goodness! The taste may taste weird at first as it had for me but for some unknown reason, after eating two of them topped with yogurt, I started liking the taste and now I eat it without anything! It's so yummy that I can't understand how can I ever have disliked the taste...
Anyways, I would present you with a bunch of scientific terms to describe this fruit but I seriously don't remember any of it and there's no point in copy and pasting from other sites because that would just be basically taking the credit for something I didn't write. So today, I will discuss my personal experience with this pretty orange fruit:)
How I eat it
Maybe you all already know how to eat it but I'll just mention it for the sake of it. What I do is, I wash it thoroughly first, take a knife, cut the fruit in half, clean out the seeds, and eat the orange stuff with a spoon! I find this way the easiest as the fruit has a really soft texture and is easy to scoop.
Using it to the full potential~
One of the best things about papaya is that you don't just eat the orange stuff and through it away, you can use the skin and seeds too! Now the seeds are something I don't really like but there are people out there who buy dried papaya seeds! The seeds have a peppery taste to it so you can give it a try to see if you like the taste. People use the seeds for seasoning of salad dressings and other food so it is pretty useful. The skin is what I find to be the best part because after finishing the papaya, you can rub the skin onto your skin and it will work as a papaya juice facial! The papaya juice is somewhat acidic and can clean out dead skin cells from your face. So after you rub the papaya skin onto your face leave it on for about 5 min and rinse it off. It helped put a glow to my skin so I suggest you try it!
***Warning: Do not leave on for too long as its acid properties can cause dryness and irritation!! Beware if you have sensitive skin!
What wonders it beholds
I can't help but throw in some scientific facts for this one so here goes!
This fruit is EXTREMELY abundant in vitamin C so it is super good for the skin. It helps remove toxins from body which will result in clear smooth skin. Its properties also promote the removal of dead skin cells thus helping with anti-aging of the skin.
For all you small chested people(hehe), the papaya enzyme contains medium tight hormones and vitamin A which stimulates female hormones which also stimulates...CHEST GROWTH! It's super awesome. Unfortunately, I can't really tell if it's working for me because, you know, you can't exactly say what's causing your boobs to grow, but I'm pretty sure it helps even the tiniest bit because mine have been sorta growing...just saying!
I'm not sure if this is proven, but apparently, papaya enzymes also increase metabolism (or something like that) so it helps remove excess fat! I can't really tell if it's working for me neither since I'm already on a diet but again, I'm sure it helps! Of course, you can't rely on eating papayas to lose weight as weight loss involves exercising and maintaining a healthy diet, but since the papaya already has so many other benefits that already makes it an amazing fruit, GO TRY IT ANYWAYS!!
It might be sort of expensive but it's not required that you eat it every day! One papaya a week is sufficient. You can slice the papaya in half, eat one half a day and save the other half for another day and that will be 2 servings a week. It's what I do and it still works wonders for me!
Hope you enjoyed this!
Much love,
Renee xoxo
