Tainung Papayas are football-shaped, elongated fruit. Their inner flesh is orange-red in color. The fruit itself has a mango-like texture. It tastes sweet, juicy, and has a melon-like flavor. It contains hundreds of small, round black seeds in a large central cavity. The seeds are edible but have a peppery taste and so are often removed before the fruit is eaten.
Unlike the other papayas, you can eat Tainung Papayas even when the outer skin is still green. Cut the papaya and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Remove the outer skin, and enjoy the juicy inner flesh raw with a dash of salt or chili powder or a squeeze of lime juice. You can also add papayas to fruit salads and salsa, and they pair well with ice cream or yogurt.
Tainung Papayas are best ripened at room temperature in a paper bag. Store the papayas in the refrigerator once they have reached the desired ripeness, and use them within a day or two.
