Green Papaya Powder (Unripe)

Green Papaya Powder is made from unripe papayas that are gently dried and finely ground into a smooth powder. With its mild, slightly earthy flavor, it can be blended into smoothies, teas, soups, and sauces or incorporated into baking and savory recipes.

Convenient and shelf-stable, this versatile powder is also used in some culinary and personal care applications. Its subtle taste and easy-to-use form make it a simple way to explore the unique qualities of green papaya.

1. Green Papaya is an incredibly healthy fruit that’s naturally packed with powerful vitamins, enzymes, and phytonutrients.
2. Raw green papaya contains vital nutrients, including potassium, magnesium, and Vitamins A, C, E, and B

Unripe Green Papaya contains two of the most powerful plant proteolytic enzymes: papain and chymopapain.

These enzymes effectively break down proteins, fats, and carbs and support healthy digestion. The enzyme papain can only be found in the papaya fruit and is superior to the pepsin produced by our stomachs. Unlike our natural pepsin, which is only activated in an acidic environment, the papain found in the green papaya can digest protein in any pH stomach environment- alkaline, acid, or neutral pH. Papain converts proteins into essential amino acids, such as arginine, which the body cannot produce.

These enzymes are also helpful in digesting carbohydrates and fats, so green papaya is most beneficial for people with enzyme deficiencies or those with a low stomach acid output. The two enzymes found in this fruit work together to possibly soothe the digestive system and may also aid those with ulcers.

Unripe Green Papaya can be helpful for most gastrointestinal ailments, from easing indigestion to supporting the body’s defense against mutated cells in the colon. The enzyme carpaine present in the green papaya possesses an antiseptic quality that may help prevent undesirable intestinal bacteria and parasites; while creating a well-balanced environment for beneficial intestinal flora to flourish. It is helpful to clean the dead tissue and waste matter from intestinal walls and is even known to dissolve pus and mucus. Carpaine in green papaya may also help alleviate the hardening of the arteries by assisting the body in dissolving injured or hardened tissue.

Unripe Green Papaya is a powerful fruit full of essential nutrients and enzymes to promote digestive health. Since enzyme levels decline as the fruit ripens, our papaya is picked when it is still green to retain its natural enzymatic qualities. Our raw unripe Green Papaya Powder comes from mature unripened papaya naturally cultivated without chemicals or pesticides.
