Tropical fruit / Papaya

Thai name: Ma-la-ko

Scientific name: Carica papaya L.

Season: all year


Economical papaya

Originally a native of Mexico, the papaya has been grown in Southeast Asia since the 16th century and the long yellow or orange fruit, rich in Vitamins A and C, is a well-established component of Thai cuisine. In perhaps its most popular use, green papayas are sliced into thin strips and ground together with dried shrimp, garlic, and hot chilies to produce a fiery salad called som tam.

The ripe fruit is often eaten with a few drops of freshly squeezed lime juice.

Pharmacological intervention can go a long way if we want to improve our sexual function, and there is much more to the chemical arsenal than just Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra.
