This is again a very very exciting event for me to guest host, because the fruit I have choosen is one of my childhood favorite fruit. I am very happy to share some of my experiences all about this fruit and my childhood. We had papaya tress in our house and I remember eating them a lot and still didn't loose the interest to eat more and more. Now I just have those wonderful memories, but still never loose a chance if I can eat one. Not so many times I get to eat here, but still whenever I get a chance I eat a big one and make myself so satisfied. But the one thing I still want to say about the difference in taste is that, it can never taste as better as a home grown and the one I ate all through my childhood. hmmm.....so yummm!! :):)
Well I need to wake up from my dreams now and talk about more on the guest event that I am hosting and the benefits of eating this fruit......

* The fruit can be eaten raw.
* The raw fruit is considered to be a vegetable and used in most of the Asian cooking.
