Thinking of eating papaya today? You're on the right track! Pretty simple reasons why you need to be eating papaya right now! For me, the most important ingredient in papaya is the digestive enzyme papain. I cannot stop talking about papain and why everyone should be taking these nutrients on a daily basis. Only papain is the most organic enzyme that helps to stabilize your digestive system instead of taking chemicals and also prepares your body for further vitamin intake (or probiotics, in my case). What we know about Papaya Papaya is a rich source of antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes (lycopene), vitamin C (103% Daily Values), vitamin A (22% DV), vitamin E (4% DV) and vitamin K (3% DV) (1). Can you imagine that eating only fruit will make you feel revitalized...
