PAPAYA
		Pear-shaped fruit, varying greatly in size, though usually the size of two to three fists. Hard and green when unripe. Ripe when skin is yellow, orange, or gold, and when fruit yields to gentle pressure. Cut length wise to reveal firm, rose color fruit and small black seeds. Scoop out seeds, peel skin with knife, slice fruit. Serve with a dash of lime juice. Native to the tropical Americas.
