Although it is not recommended to choose too raw, it is not necessary to choose very familiar ones.
 Insufficient maturity
 After the papaya is perfected, its flesh will be soft and easily bruised, which is not suitable for transportation. Therefore, the growers pick the papaya raw, and not until the papaya is perfected. At the moment, the papaya is all green. This kind of papaya needs to go through Cui cooking or cooking after it is bought back. Taking it immediately is bitter and belongs to all normal conditions.
 Didn't clean it up
 Papaya can only eat the pulp of papaya. Before taking papaya, remove its skin and the seeds inside, and then clean them. If the outer skin is too thin, the pulp close to the skin will contain a bitter taste. Because the outer skin of papaya contains a bitter taste, and papaya seeds also contain a bitter taste.
