I just had an extremely unripe papaya today and tried to eat it raw, it didn't work. The only time you can eat it raw is when it's semi-ripe/semi-unripe, otherwise it won't even be that chewable or healthy for your intestines to eat raw unripe papaya. Apparently I haven't been eating very unripe papayas all along as there was a lot of pink in the middle, the new ones I Just bought are all cream/yellow colored.

Hi Double-Ace,
Thanks for the update. I had kind of been thinking that you've been eating ripe papaya because you said you've been able to eat it as a fruit serving, but I wasn't 100% sure so I didn't mention it, and it hasn't seemed to hinder your growth in any way
I think Fengshui mentioned once somewhere the only way to eat unripe papaya is to cook it. When unripe, the inside is almost white, and the seeds aren't really as dark.
Your story goes to show that somewhat ripened papaya has NBE properties too! Which is great for those of us who can't get our hands on the unripe stuff! I'm happy to hear! I hope to hear some more great news from you this summer! Keep growing hun!

Hi Double-ace
I just had my first proper raw papaya today too, I bought some green ones a while back but they were reddy pink inside and i wasn't sure if they were ripe or not. I had a smoothie this morning but it didn't blend too well, but I cooked some in a curry and it was a lot nicer. I think I will definitely go back to the ripe ones though as they are so delicious. And as Sunshine says, the ripe ones could be just as good for nbe
