30 Day Raw Fruit Project Day 23
Hi There! It’s Day 23 of Vibrant Vegan’s 30 Days, 30 Fruits for You Project!
The fantastic fruit for Day 23 is the PAPAYA!
-One cup of chopped papaya contains just 55 calories, and oodles of so-very-good-for-you goodies!
-Papayas are a fantastic source of these fantastic nutrients:
Papain
Beta-carotene
Vitamins A and C
Folate
Potassium
Fiber
-Papayas are the only natural source of papain, a powerful digestive enzyme. (The riper the papaya, however, the less papain it contains.)
-Papain is also used in treatment of jellyfish and insect stings. (Cut the skin from the rest of the fruit and apply it directly to the wound.)
-Papayas have been show to be anti-inflammatory, thus helping to reduce the pain of arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, and edema.
-Paste made from unripe papaya, may remove pigmentation or brown spots from your face.
-Papayas can help protect against colon cancer because of their high fiber, plus the fiber in papaya has been shown to bind to cancer-causing compounds in the colon and remove them from the body.
-The papaya tree can grow from seed to a 20 foot, fruit bearing tree in less than 18 months. Wow-weee!
