I believe Papaya is the perfect Fruit, and for the following reasons would recommend it to all that do not eat it currently
Reasoning:
- Incredibly Easy to digest - Not only is it soft, this fruit contains a host of proteolytic enzymes. these include papain, chymopapain, caricain and glycyl endopeptidase. These are shown to aid in the digestive process. This is especially true of meals that contain meat or other concentrated forms of protein.
As meals should be balanced and protein is hard to digest especially a compromised digestive state, papayas can be assist like no other Fruit.
- Great for natural hydration as they contain electrolytes & potassium
- Loaded with Vitamin C - great for the immune system
- Tropical Fruit grown in hot climates; further supporting Peat's hypotheses surrounding foods/environment link and metabolism
- edible part of the fruit is guarded by a thick skin where pesticides or other harmful substances cannot penetrate (if pesticides are used in cultivating - not sure here but my two cents with today's world)
- Not as mass produced, and thus not as rushed to store (debatable but have you ever seen a un-ripe Papaya in a store?)
- Do not seem to go off quickly.
- & last but not least taste delicious
