Product description
Few fruits are as easy to love as a perfectly ripe papaya. Its soft, buttery flesh, deep golden colour and mellow sweetness make it one of nature's most satisfying fruits. Sourced from Thailand, home to some of the world's sweetest papaya varieties, our papayas are harvested mature and delivered fresh so you can ripen them at home to your preferred sweetness.
Ripens Naturally at Home
Papaya is a climacteric fruit, meaning it continues to ripen after harvest. It arrives firm and gradually softens at room temperature, developing its signature sweetness and aroma over several days.
How to Ripen & Store
If firm on arrival: • Leave at room temperature for 3–5 days • Wait until skin becomes mostly yellow-orange • Fruit should yield slightly to gentle pressure Once ripe: • Refrigerate • Consume within 2–3 days • Do not refrigerate before ripening
