If you had read my post where I harvested a papaya from the tree of our neighbor, let me share the picture of that papaya. After slicing, I put in evaporated milk, added sugar and also fresh lemon drops. After placing it in the freezer for 15 minutes, it was so nice to eat the ripe papaya that I made for my snack.

That's nice of you to plant something when you were here. Now they are harvesting the fruits.

It grows only in tropical countries and has a short shelf life so it cannot be exported to other countries.

The mixture is my own formula that I saw from my grandmother when I was a boy.

Yes, some people cook the green papaya as vegetable or a mix with the chicken soup dish called tinola.

Papaya only grows in tropical countries but I think there is papaya in your country.

I just slice and eat. Good fruit for regular bowel movement. Helps avoid constipation.

I love papaya but we never put anything with it we just slice it and eat it. We can buy it here from the supermarkets and they are pretty good. I bet they taste so much better straight from the tree !

You are right when the fruits get ripe while on the tree. But it is not good since the insects and birds would get ahead of you.
