papaya

[Guest guest]

Well, I don't feel Meg's pain LOL! How wonderful it would be to have a

tree that produced glorious fruit nonstop. And regarding your mangos, PT,

I remember when we went to Molokai -- I was in the early stage of pregnancy

with our daughter. We decided to hike up to Halava Falls, and I had to

tread on rotten mangos nearly every step of the way, feeling more and more

nauseous as we went. It took me a good ten years before I could stand to

be around, much less eat, a mango!

Mmmmm... I just finished consuming my first ever serving

of raw, fresh, papaya. I may have had it in fruit juices

before, but not that I can remember by itself.

 

In looking up whether the seeds were edible, most sites

said yes, though the peppery taste may not be to every-

one's liking. They also said you could dry them and

grind into a seasoning.

 

However, I did find one warning on:

that points to a toxic substance called carpine.

 

Just wanted to share my joy at a new exotic fruit find

(to me) and present this FYI on their seeds.

Erin,

 

Last November I went to Hawaii and had my first fresh

papaya-- next time try squeezing a fresh lime over it

before eating. Fantastic.

Here's a yummy way to use papaya. I created the recipe & it won 2nd place at a

www.recipezaar.com contest! <verybiggrin> Bethie

Island Rice Pudding Recipe #161335 A new twist on an old favorite just for

40 minutes 10 mins prep

 

 

Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice & salt. Cover & cook on

low heat until almost all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes.

Add milk & cook uncovered, stirring frequently until about 1/2 the milk is

absorbed. Stir in the 1/4c sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and raisins. Continue to

cook until the rice is soft & the milk is absorbed.

Stir in coconut. Gently fold in papaya. Taste & add more sugar, if desired.

Serve warm or cold.
