Raw Papaya is just green in colour and can be eaten in a variety of ways. Our personal favourite is the Spicy Chutney made with green papaya and the Indian gooseberry (Amla) with loads of green chilies. You can even try the raw green papaya salad, which children amazingly love due to the tangy and velvety texture of the fruit. Even better is cooking it as a vegetable with a spicy curry and retaining the nutrition with cooking on a low flame.
Benefits of this raw green fruit extend to various zones with maximum benefits to liver and internal health of the body. Here are five health benefits of raw papaya to the body.
