RE: You say papaya, I say pawpaw: Fruit as Natural Medicine
Green papaya is BIG NATURAL MEDICINE here in Thailand. We eat it raw, grated, as a spicy salad called Som Tum. It removes bowel plaque phenomenally and so is a brilliant cleansing food. It is a go-to food by Thai people whenever they're feeling poorly. It is unbelievably rich in enzymes and the basis for most commercial enzyme supplements you see in the west. I will make spicy som tum for you when you visit. :)
Yeeeh papayah-bok-bok!! Love me a 2 chilli som tum sweat down lol! Got my lunch decision made for the day thanks. Oh and River so funny my Jamie don't enjoy ripe pawpaw either, though gut health is immune health and well a coffee grinder works perfect to powder up some dry seeds to throw in a smoothie if that helps disguise the taste. Works in our house 💚
That sounds amazing, @artemislives - I would love that. I love thai food. I like green papaya, but not the overripe stuff - ugh - @riverflows. xx
We use ripe papaya in smoothies with a lot of lime and banana - Thai standards - and the overripe stuff is PERFECT with honey and a little bentonite clay for natural facials. I have a whole series of natural kitchen face-body masks and scrub posts planned. :)
Perfect!!!!
