Papaya consists of a digestive enzyme called papain. Papaya in raw form is used as a meat tenderizer. The leaves, and green skin of raw papaya contain an enzyme called Papain. The connective tissue in the meat breaks down when it comes in contact with Papain. Pregnant women are advised from eating papaya as it is considered as inducing abortion.
1) Do not over- cook papaya. Overcooked papaya tastes awful.
