Papayas have soft, spoon-able meat inside that has a stronger, earthier flavor than other tropicals. The texture is somewhat melon-like so papayas can be used as a melon substitute in many recipes. When fully ripened, papaya skin will turn a rich golden color and the flesh will be coral-colored with gold tinges. You can also tell when a papaya is fully ripened because it feels a slightly softer than a ripe avocado and should be used right away or refrigerated. Squeeze a little lime juice over papaya slices to round out their flavor. Enjoy them in fruit cocktails, smoothies, whip into ice cream or sorbets - they are a huge source of vitamin A, antioxidants and other nutrients.
