Papaya, unripe, green flesh, raw

Unripe papaya is the green-fleshed fruit of the papaya plant, described here in its raw form. It consists mainly of water, with carbohydrate providing most of its energy and small amounts of protein and fat. Per 100g, it provides 5.5g of carbohydrate, 31mg of vitamin C, 56mg of magnesium and 210mg of potassium.

Vitamin C supports normal collagen formation in tissues such as skin and gums, and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Magnesium and potassium contribute to normal muscle and nerve function. Raw green papaya contains little fat or salt, although preparation with added fats or salty ingredients changes the overall nutritional content. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
