Thai Green Papaya 600Gr ( 19.00 € /kg)

Ingredient: Green Papaya 100%

Product Information  : Green papaya has an oblong shape and light green color skin. The flesh is crisp white with cream-white seeds in the center cavity. The flesh is crunchy with very little flavor. Green papaya is a primary ingredient for Thai salad, som tam, where the green papaya is shredded and combined with chile, lime, garlic, and fish sauce. Green papaya is available year-round.
Hands down the most well known dish in Thailand which utilises Papaya is Som Tum, Spicy Papaya Salad. Almost every Thai person will eat Som Tum several times a week, and always as a standalone meal or as a snack, very popular at lunchtimes. Som Tum is often too flavoursome for Western taste, mainly due to the fact it is made with Pla Ra (fermented fish sauce), which is an acquired taste to say the least.

Papaya is also often added to simple dishes as a vegetable, for example Pad Moo Papaya, which is quite simply fried pork with Papaya, a simple yet tasty dish. In fact, Papaya finds its way into many salads, most of which would not list Papaya upon the list of ingredients for the standard recipe. Papaya is a versatile fruit, due to its unobtrusive taste, it can be added to a range of dishes to add texture and its own particular flavour, and add bulk to make a dish more filling.
