Papaya Juice

Papaya Juice
The outer skin of a papaya turns yellow or orange when it is ripe, and the flesh becomes sweet and soft. To prepare them for juicing, cut in half, scoop out the seeds and discard and then scoop out the flesh, throwing the skins away. Then run the flesh through juicer. The papaya can be blended with other fresh juices. Or if to make plain papaya juice, simply blend two to four ounces of water with the flesh of one medium sized papaya.

Papaya is rich in vitamins A and C, and contains small amounts of the minerals calcium, chlorine, iron, phosphorus, potassium, silicon and sodium. Its nutritional highlight is its enzymes, specifically papain, a protein digestant. It is also endowed with the abundance of energy-boosting natural sugars when ripe. Papaya juice strengthens the body’s blood coagulating ability. It is a fine laxative, appetite stimulant, and cleanser of the kidneys, liver, and intestines.
