Now grown worldwide in various tropical climates, the papaya is traditionally indigenous to Central America and is packed with vitamins and minerals such as potassium. Papaya, while not the sweetest of dehydrated fruits, is extremely high in antioxidants such as carotenoids, specifically lycopene. Studies have shown that lycopene reduces oxidative stress, and the general antioxidant properties in papaya have been shown to reduce inflammation and boost cardiovascular health. Papaya is also rich in vitamin C, aiding in overall skin health. Low in natural sugars and high in fibre, papaya makes an excellent daily snack, especially for those of us in the Northern hemisphere who may not have access to the fresh fruit.
