Papaya (Fruit)

Today I was clearing away some of the dead leaves from my Banana and Papaya trees when I found this Papaya on the ground. There was a little damage on one side, but generally in good condition. I will let it ripen inside for a few more days. Actually, I've never eaten a Papaya as a fruit, so curious to see what it tastes like. I'll let you know.

 

I stored the Papaya in the refrigerator for a few days before deciding to try it. It was not so sweet and suspect it needed to ripen a bit longer, but I ate it anyway. I can guess what it would taste like when ripen, which is a mild cantaloupe. I'll try this again, but need to learn when it is ripe.
