To maximize the freshness and flavour of papayas, it's essential to store them properly. Ripen papayas at room temperature until they yield slightly to gentle pressure. Once ripe, store them in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process and extend their shelf life. Place uncut papayas in the crisper drawer to protect them from temperature fluctuations. If you've already cut the papaya, cover the exposed flesh with plastic wrap and refrigerate it in an airtight container. Remember that papayas are sensitive to ethylene, a natural gas that accelerates ripening, so keep them away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas. Proper storage ensures that you can enjoy the sweet and tropical taste of papayas for an extended period.
