Fresh Green Papaya (Long) – per lb

Fresh long green papaya, sold by the pound and picked while still firm and unripe. Its crisp, mild flesh is prized for South and Southeast Asian cooking, most famously shredded into green papaya salad (som tum) or cooked into curries and stir-fries. Peel and grate it raw for a crunchy salad, or simmer it in kootu and sabzi. A firm, versatile pick for savory dishes.
