I received a beautiful firm green papaya. I love green papaya curry. I haven’t cook it as yet. It was peeled, chopped, blanched and freeze for a later cooking. Papaya curry is quite delicious. Fish, shrimps, and any sort of protein can be added to it. It pairs well with plain steamed rice or rotis. I will definitely be repurchasing as needed.

This is my first time buying it, hoping it tastes as good as the reviews.

I've never bought papayas from Hawaii before. They're much smaller than I expected and quite expensive. I'll wait until they're ripe to eat them; I like them, otherwise I'll feel ripped off. I'd rather buy regular papayas.
weee.9347193
I was hoping for a medium size, but it was a bit smaller than I thought. Could you double-check the size next time I order?
weee.16833234
The papayas I received today was had bad packaging as they did not have any bubble wrap. This was the same condition from my last order that was not packaged well and we opened them, they were soft and mushy inside. The same thing would happen to this new order since these also were not bubble wrapped to protect the papaya. Please make sure papayas are will packaged.
