California papaya is a popular papaya variety worldwide. This fruit is known for its sweet taste, soft texture, and bright yellow or orange skin. The name “California” is often used because papayas are frequently grown in California, although they are also cultivated in other tropical areas.
The primary regions of origin for California papaya are Central and South America, as well as other tropical countries such as Hawaii and Mexico. The warm and humid climate in these regions allows this papaya variety to grow rapidly.

- Maintains Healthy Skin: The vitamin C and A content in papaya helps maintain healthy skin, prevents premature aging, and boosts collagen production.
- Reduces Heart Disease Risk: Fibre and antioxidants in papaya help lower blood cholesterol levels, thus reducing the risk of heart disease.
Storage Method:
- Store at Room Temperature: California papayas should be stored at room temperature, especially if the fruit is not fully ripe.
- Ripen at Room Temperature: If the papaya is not yet ripe, leave it at room temperature to fully ripen. You can speed up the ripening process by placing the papaya alongside other ethylene-producing fruits, such as apples or bananas.
- Refrigerate Once Ripe: After the papaya is ripe, store it in the refrigerator to slow down further ripening and maintain its freshness. Ripe papayas should be consumed within 2-3 days.
