Dried Papaya

Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that can break down the hard protein chains in muscle meat. For this reason, people have been using this fruit for thousands of years to digest meat protein.

Aside from its medicinal and therapeutic purposes, the nutritional benefits of consuming papaya are numerous, and Christopher Columbus calls it the fruit of angels.

Doctors and nutritionists recommend that papaya be added to the diet of older people due to its high content of pantothenic acid, folate, flavonoids and carotene, fiber and vitamins A, C and E.
