On a recent trip to my hometown of Cebu, I helped out in harvesting papayas at the KPAF. This first papaya harvesting experience made me ask myself ‘how much do I really know about this fruit? this tree?’ So this week we look into the world of papayas in a special feature called PAWPAW Power. Pawpaw is another name for Papaya. Today, I bring you – ‘Papaya Products’.
Here is a sampling of the wide variety of Papaya products available in the market today: dried papaya, papaya juice concentrate, papaya liquid meat tenderizer, papaya leaf tea, papaya soap and papaya enzyme facial mask.
Disclaimer:I don’t necessarily endorse these products they are just some of the interesting ones I found while researching Papaya products available in the market today.

Hello Pauline,
I have with interest read your Blog regarding Papaya and it is interesting that I came across it today in my papaya research.
I am researching manufactures which is producing papaya healthy products for people and pets.
The reason for my research into papaya is that I over the last four weeks have been using fresh green papaya and cooked out the juice and mixed the juice with green tee. Already after one week I can feel that it help on my arthritis and it is just getting better day for day.
From your Blog I understand that you have participated in the harvest of the papayas in your home town. What are you using the papayas for?
If you have other information or name of other manufactures which produce papaya products or related web sites I would be very interesting to be able to use those in my research.
Thank you and best regards,
Finn
Hello Finn! Thanks for dropping by. Am glad to hear that you have learned a thing or two from my PAWPAW Power posts. With regards to the papaya we grow– it is mostly for our own consumption. We eat them fresh or make yummy Cebuano-style pickled papaya (Atchara). Whatever excess we have from the harvest, we share with our guests and staff. So everybody is happy and healthy with a delicious serving of our organic papayas.
If I come across some other interesting Papaya info, will send you a link…all the best with your research! Paulina
