Fresh papaya is rich in nutrients, tastes light and soft, and is also ideal for cooking. It contains Vitamins A, B, B1, B2, and C, as well as a variety of minerals (iron, calcium, and potassium), protein, papaya enzymes, cellulose, and organic acids. The amount of Vitamin A and Vitamin C is not only five times higher than that in watermelon and bananas but also three time higher than the required daily intake. It can help prevent influenza or at least relieve related symptoms.
