Description
Green Papaya, also known as Hilaw na Papaya, is a versatile ingredient widely used in Filipino and Asian cooking. Unlike ripe papaya, this unripe version has a firm texture and neutral taste, making it ideal for absorbing the flavors of soups, sautés, and marinades.
It becomes tender when cooked and blends beautifully with ginger-based broths, vinegar pickles, and savory dishes. A staple vegetable for comforting home-cooked meals.
✔ Fresh and firm
✔ Mild flavor, absorbs seasonings well
✔ Essential for traditional Filipino recipes
