Alianca Papaya's deep orange flesh will instantly bring you somewhere tropical. The perfectly mild, yet sweet aroma will lure you into a suggestively melon-like flavour with every bite. Not to mention, the Toucan Papaya oddly, but delightfully, tastes like Froot Loops.
Rumour has it John Tavares tried this papaya once and said it was the best papaya he has ever had. Now, the question is: is John Tavares someone you trust to tell you what fruit is good and what fruit isn't? We don't know, but the guy took a home town discount and that's good enough for us.
Preparation Ideas: Chop these up like a watermelon, or take it to next level and make yourself a Papaya bowl. Simply cut the Papaya down the middle, hollow out the seeds and fill the whole with whatever fruits, yogurt, grains and/or herbs your heart desires.
