Hawaiian Papayas are typically smaller in size compared to other varieties. Underneath the yellow to green skin, the flesh is tender, aqueous, and smooth, encasing a central cavity filled with oval, black-brown seeds. The seeds are covered in a gelatinous coating and are edible, bearing a sharp, pepper-like flavor with a crunchy consistency. Hawaiian Papayas are aromatic and have a mild, sweet, and fruity taste with delicate notes of peaches and melon.
