Papaya

Original from southern Mexico, this fruit is completely adapted to the Brazilian climate conditions

Papaya is recommended by nutritionists because it is rich in lycopene (average of 3.39 mg / 100 g), vitamin C and minerals that are important to the organism. The riper the fruit, the higher the concentration of these nutrients.

Medical properties

Papaya also contains a high degree of papain, a proteolytic enzyme used in medicine to treat gastrointestinal disturbances and to reabsorb hematomas.
