Papaya
Papita
1000 g1 medium papaya (about 1 kg)
medium ripe papaya weight approximate; edible flesh less than whole weight
Instead of Papaya
Ripe mangoUse the same weight, cut into similar pieces; it is sweeter and tangier, so taste before adding extra sugar or lemon.
Musk melonUse the same weight; it is milder and more watery, so drain well and reduce any added liquid.
PearUse the same weight; it stays firmer and is less fragrant, so cook a little longer if the recipe simmers the fruit.
