DID YOU KNOW? The Papaya, also called papaw, or pawpaw, is the fruit of the Carica Papaya tree. It is believed to be native to southern Mexico and neighboring Central America. The Papaya has become naturalized throughout the Caribbean Islands, Florida and several countries of Africa. Additional crops are grown in India, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and the U.S. state of Hawaii. source
