What is a green papaya? Is it the skin color? Flesh color? Unripe?
ReplyDeleteIt is just a regular papaya that isn't ripe yet. It is common in asia and often pickled. You can use Jicama or apples in lieu of it. Papaya is a rich source of antioxidants such as folic acid, fiber, carotenes, vitamin C and E.
