Family: Caricaceae
Plant history & use:
The papaya variety 'HOLLAND' is known as one of the tastiest and sweetest types of papaya. It has red, juicy flesh inside and a mild, balanced flavor
Papaya is a fruit that originates from Central America and the Caribbean. It has a sweet and fruity taste and a soft and juicy texture. Papaya usually grows in warm climates and is one of the most cultivated fruits in tropical countries. Papaya has a unique flavor that resembles a mix of melon and passion fruit.
Papaya is most often eaten as a fruit salad or as part of smoothies and fruit juices. You can also make a salad by grating the green unripe fruits, similar to carrots. The papaya fruit also contains high levels of vitamin C, folate, and the antioxidant beta-carotene.
The papaya tree has an almost cress-like aroma found in nearly all parts of the plant - leaves, trunk, fruit skin, and seeds as well as the unripe fruits. One might almost think it is a large cress plant with fruit. However, the taste is not noticeable in the fully ripe fruits.
Papaya and its plant parts have long been used in traditional medicine for a variety of purposes. Papaya seeds have, among other things, been used for digestive problems, and the sap from the tree has been used to treat parasite-caused infections thanks to its antiparasitic properties. The sap from papaya has also been used as an anesthetic (painkiller).
Cultivation:
The papaya tree is one of the fastest-growing fruit trees in its natural tropical environment, where it bears fruit already 4-6 months after sowing. The papaya tree thrives best in warm, humid environments.
In Sweden, the climate is less favorable, but when grown in a greenhouse and thanks to the papaya’s fast-growing traits, it is probably the easiest tropical fruit to harvest within a short period of 1-2 years.
Use well-drained soil with a high amount of organic material. Provide plenty of water during fruit formation. Natural fertilizer is recommended already 4-6 weeks after the seed has sprouted.
