Papayas,baby!

Papayas are a beautifully colored fruit, with a smooth texture and slightly floral taste.
It`s important to use every bit of your produce, so don`t throw those seeds away just yet!
Did you know the seeds are used as an aphrodisiac in some countries? 


They are crunchy,and have a pepper-like kick to them. 


Usually people use them in salad dressing 

Papaya dressing:
 

1/2 ripe papaya
2 tablespoons fresh papaya seeds
1/2 cup nut oil
1 tablespoon of rice or white wine vinegar




Simply mix, and puree in a blender




Or, you could toss them whole into a salad, although I prefer to roast them a bit before doing so, as they`re a little hard to chew raw.
