Why Papaya Is Called 'The Fruit of the Angels'

Papayas in our backyard! I am so amazed of the looks of this papaya fruits. This is also known as carica papaya. We all know that papaya is an incredibly delicious tropical fruit. Aside from its taste there a lot of benefits that we can get from papayas.
Christopher Columbus, a famous explorer and navigator, once called papaya as the fruit of the angels. He called it as such probably because of its sweet delicious flavor that has musky undertones and a soft butter-like consistency. A resinous flavor will be noticed, like the smell of a coniferous tree.

Before, this was considered as exotic fruit but now we can see this in the market all throughout the year.

My mother loves to grow crops and fruit-bearing plants in our backyard. And these papaya trees are the fruit of her labor. Papaya fruits can be beneficial too.
Here are some of the benefits of papaya:

1. Aids in digestion.
