The papaya originated in Central and South America but now thrives in many countries with tropical or near tropical climates. When Columbus discovered the fruit on his travels, he described it as “the fruit of the angels.” Unlike some tropical fruits, the papaya appeals to most palates, and is quite easy to obtain even in countries where it does not grow well.

    Papaya trees can grow to approximately 32 feet (10 m) tall. They have no branches, and the fruits, which produce year round, grow directly on the trunk of the tree. Papayas can be fairly large, sometimes as much as 20 inches (50.8 cm) long.

    The fruit is sometimes round in shape, or may be more pear-shaped depending upon the variety and growing conditions. As available in stores, the papaya is generally not quite so long. Most have an average length of 7 inches (17.78 cm). The fruit is remarkably dense and may weigh up to a pound (approximately half a kilogram).
