Hi @Nwatanwendidi1,
Welcome to Connect!
Thank you for sharing this photo with us. This is papaya right? What do you do with a papaya? In my country we make papaya salad with spicy chili. It's very popular in Thailand.

Hi @Peruano,
Yes, in my country we call it the same.
Papaya now has some new varieties. The papaya plant is now not as tall and gives a lot more fruit, while the old papaya trees used to be taller, but they did not give as much fruit.
In your country do you make papaya salad or just eat it like a regular fruit?
Just as a reminder, don't forget when responding to others make sure to tag them (by writing @ before their names) in a post so they can receive notifications that you are communicating with them.

Thanks @Aruni @Peruano, In my country Iran we also calling the same because this is not a common fruit in Iran. It is a tropical fruit which is different with weather conditions in most areas of Iran (Only south parts of Iran like Chabahar has such conditions). So it is less than other fruits here and we have no local word to call it and use the general word.
But the main goal of my comment was to remind for posting a complete content on Connect which has enough description 🙂
Thank you

In Nigeria, this is called pawpaw. It is eaten as normal fruit 🍉 , as salad 🥗 and some people juice 🥤 it. Which ever way, pawpaw is good. The leaves are also use together with other leaves 🍁 for traditional medicine.
