Carica papaya, An all season fruit good for children, adults and the elderly

INTRODUCTION

There are times our body crave for something else other than what we are used to eat, even at odd times. Such craving could be a different type of food that we may not have eaten for a long time, or fruits that our body drives us to take in.

I was just walking around my environment and I had to behold these fresh and nice pawpaw. I took them down, washed and kept them in safe place. Actually before now, I don't really go for the pawpaw fruit even though fruit is all around me.

I came to realize that one doesn't have to wait for his or her body to crave for a particular food or fruits before eating them. What really matters is nutritional supplement of the food or fruits, so waiting for the body to crave for the food or fruits is unnecessary although eating them when they are being craved for satisfactory.

Keeping the scenario highlighted above in perspective , This article seems to know if there is a better season to eat pawpaw.

The pawpaw, known in botanical terms as carica papaya, has been identified as tropical plant that bears fruits all year round. In fact, I would say that in my area, the South Eastern part of Nigeria, is blessed with this fruit.

In my state for instance, Abia state, it grows bountifully during the wet or rainy season. Our soil is rich in nutrients and enough water from the rains that enables its flourishing and fruition.

The pawpaw fruit is observed to start flowering at just as the rainy season begins. It starts bearing fruits during the rainy season proper, the time when its fruits become sweeter and bigger. The red paw is one of the species in this category. The pawpaw fruits is available year in, and year out.

When is the pawpaw fruit eatable and what time and season?
The pawpaw fruit is eatable when it shows that is married enough and is riped. There then the color changes from green to yellow and maybe orange.. At this time , it would be sweeter, have more juice and becomes bigger in size.

Pawpaw fruit is good to eaten both in the rainy and dry season. If you carefully observe, you will notice that pawpaw tastes more sweeter during the the rain season than the dry season.

The dry season makes it smaller in size and reduces its water making it a little bit less juicy.

Pawpaw is recommended to be eaten in the morning or afternoon. While it supports digestion and provides energy, it also helps to hydrate the body especially during the dry season when so much water is lost from the body.
