Green papaya from Spain, a variety that is consumed as a vegetable
Anecoop, a leading Spanish cooperative in the marketing of fruits and vegetables, presents a new product on the market, the green papaya.
This product, which is mainly grown in areas with a subtropical Mediterranean climate such as Almeria and Murcia, is consumed like a vegetable. Its cultivation in Spain extends throughout the year, although its production peaks between January and February. Its exterior and interior colors are different than those of ripe papaya. Its exterior color is totally green and doesn t have any yellow hue, while its interior pulp is white instead of orange.
