Papaya

The exotic flavor of our dried papayas will make you think you are vacationing in the tropics. Dried papaya blends very well with nuts or granola and other dried fruits for a perfect snack that your whole family will enjoy.

It is a delicious dried fruit that can be eaten right out of the bag or as a topping for salads, cereal, yogurt, pudding and ice cream. Dried papayas are great for baking cookies, cake, bread, muffins and pies. They are sweet in taste and have a chewy texture like that of a gumdrop. You can even feel good about eating them because they are a great way to add a healthy kick to your day.

Dried papayas are an amazingly rich source of nutrients that are essential to your body. They are a great source of fiber, which promotes digestive health and can ease an upset stomach. Papaya is packed with antioxidants such as vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, fiber, B vitamins, folate and pantothenic acids, and carotenes. Our bodies use these antioxidants to fight certain types of cancer and prevent heart attacks and strokes. Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that has anti-inflammatory effects. This enzyme paired with other nutrients found in papaya can reduce the severity of asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.

Vitamins A and C found in dried papaya gives our immune system a boost and can help prevent illnesses such as the common cold and flu. The rich amount of vitamin A found in papaya also promotes healthy lungs. Dried papayas are a great alternative to sugary, unhealthy snacks. They are fat-free, cholesterol free, and low in calories. For storage, dried papayas are best when kept in a cool, dry place for up to one year.

If you want to change your snacking habits and try something that is healthy and delicious, look no further. Once you try our delectable all natural dried papaya, it will be your new favorite snack. See for yourself… order some today!
