what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 06, 2008 07:03PM I bought one last week but I still haven't cut it open.
Should this go in my veggie salad? I saw a recipe for a thai salad but it called for cooked peanuts and soy sauce. Does anyone have any raw ideas? I know I can put it on my face but I plan on eating most of it. Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 06, 2008 07:36PM Shred it with some mango, red pepper, onion, cilantro, and lime. Sprinkle with raw cashews if you want.
It's also good with diced garlic, thai chili, tomato, chopped green bean, and lime. I found, in the end, shredding it was way too much work for me, and I'd rather pay for my salads and leave prep to the professionals. 
Yum... now I want to eat some! Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 06, 2008 07:38PM Greens papaya have more enzymes than ripe papaya, they are the best. You can use them in salads or smoothies, you can also use them for face masks [www.2skincare.com] . Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 06, 2008 07:53PM I bought this shredder thingy from the Asian store, it cost about a buck. It's really easy with carrots and sweet potatoes so I expect it will not be a big deal with this papaya. Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 06, 2008 09:32PM Here is the shredder thingy I bought. I didn't pay anywhere close to what it sells for here.
[www.amazon.com] The one review specifically mentions green papaya. Anyways, if you can find it for cheaper than this, get it, I am really pleased with mine. Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 07, 2008 06:52PM Wicked, thanks! I have one of those loooooong rectangle ones from Ikea, so I have to use the papaya on the shredder, not the shredder on the papaya, it's very uncomfortable.  Re: what can you do with green papaya?

Date: May 07, 2008 07:33PM Well, I just had it. I shredded it along with a carrot, some onion, chili sauce, peanuts, and lemon juice (I had no lime).
It was pretty good. Next time I will use red pepper, tomato, and lime juice. By itself it didn't have much flavor, sort of like cucumber without the cucumber taste (I know that doesn't make sense but that's what it was like). But, it soaks up the flavors of what you put in with it. Hoping all those enzymes will do something good for my body! Re: what can you do with green papaya?
