Rainbow & Sunred Papayas – 10# Box

$84.95

The Sunred papaya is a reddish-pink-fleshed papaya, delicious and sweet.  Our Sunred papaya is a Sunup variety of papaya.  The Rainbow papaya is a bright yellow-orange with a unique papaya flavor. The Rainbow Papaya is a hybrid variety of papaya produced by crossing the Kapoho Solo (yellow flesh), and the Sunup (red-flesh).  Both varieties are delicious and sweet, and were developed by the University of Hawaii, Cornell University, and USDA to be resistant to the papaya ringspot virus, and first made commercially available in 1998.

Papayas are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. They are high in Vitamin C, and a good source of fiber,  Vitamins A and B6, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and many other vitamins and minerals.

A 10 lb mixed box of Rainbow and Sunred Papaya typically contains 7-9 papayas.  Papayas are harvested at a ripeness to maximize sweetness and flavor and still survive shipping.  They should be eaten when they give to a gentle touch, which is usually when the skin is 3/4 to fully yellow.  Once they have reached their desired ripeness, they are best stored in the refrigerator to slow the ripening process and extend their shelf life.
