That sound’s great… As others claimed that it could be the type of advancement in the field of genetic engineering. It probably was a genetically modified one. Why not try to test it’s chromosome number and see it for yourself. The only problem would be… the prospects for its massive production. (kinda like it…)

My tree is producing completly seedless papaya’s, and they are great.
The tree does look a bit different the my others so I am not sure what type it actually is.

I planted 2 papaya trees and was surprised also that they only have 2 or 3 seeds. That is why I found this website, doing research to find out more about seedless papaya

Papayas contain papain which acts as a tenderizer. Can’t imagine why people want to tenderize their skin. Or whiten it for that matter. White people want to tan. Dark people want to whiten. All people presumably want whiter underarms if you believe all the advertising on dark underams resulting in a lack of suitable dates. Just remember, eat too much papaya or carrots for that matter and you can literally turn orange.

the store “healthy options” sells natural papaya tablets that are supposed to aid digestion. wouldn’t be surprised since the unripened fruit itself contains enzymes that make it useful as a meat tenderizes. anyways, i hear that if you don’t want to spring for the tablets, papaya seeds are a cheap digestion aid alternative. i haven’t read anything to support this and it is all hearsay but if anyone knows something…
