Alkaline Super Foods: Papaya

Papaya is a tropical fruit from the Carica papaya plant, known for its soft, orange flesh and sweet, slightly musky flavor. Native to Central America, it’s now grown worldwide and celebrated for its impressive nutritional profile. Papaya is low in acid and becomes alkaline-forming once digested, making it ideal for maintaining pH balance in the body. It contains key nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, and potassium, along with a powerful digestive enzyme called papain, which aids in protein digestion and gut health.

What is Papaya?

As an alkaline superfood, papaya supports the body in multiple ways—from enhancing digestion to boosting the immune system. Its naturally hydrating properties, antioxidant content, and gentle effect on the stomach make it a go-to fruit in cleansing and detox routines. It can be eaten fresh, blended in smoothies, or added to fruit bowls for a nutritious boost.
