Fresh organic papaya sold individually, sourced and sold at Costco warehouse locations. Papayas are a tropical fruit known for their sweet, buttery flesh and vibrant orange-yellow interior. Organic certification means they are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Papayas are rich in vitamins C and A, folate, and potassium. They contain papain, a natural enzyme that supports digestion. The fruit is versatile — eaten fresh on its own, blended into smoothies, added to fruit salads, or used in savory salsas and marinades. Select papayas that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have mostly yellow skin for peak ripeness. Unripe papayas can be ripened at room temperature.
