Notes
How to tell when papaya is ripe
A ripe papaya will have skin that is turning from green to yellow. The papaya will also be soft to the touch when you press your finger into it.
Papaya tip: speed up papaya ripening by putting it into a brown paper bag with a ripe banana. The banana will naturally release ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process.
