The enzyme of papaya helps aid digestive problems. The unripe papaya is used in cooking (hmmm....the tempting aroma of chicken soup with cut-up papaya & lemon grass or tanglad/tangad) Shredded unripe papaya are made into pickles (achara or kinilaw papaya goes well with lechon) Extracts of papaya are used by cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Papaya is also a key ingredient for soaps, shampoos, lotions etc.
