Papaya flour is made from the pulp (and sometimes the peel or seeds) of the dehydrated and ground papaya, resulting in a nutritious, functional and fiber-rich powder. It is used as a natural ingredient to aid intestinal transit, in addition to providing antioxidant and digestive compounds.

🍈 Main benefits of papaya flour:

Rich in fiber (soluble and insoluble): helps with intestinal function, combats constipation and promotes satiety.

Contains papain, a natural enzyme that helps in the digestion of proteins — useful in diets with high protein intake.

Provides natural antioxidants such as beta-carotene, which contribute to the health of the skin and the immune system.

Good source of vitamin C, A, potassium and calcium, especially if made with parts of the fruit and the peel.

🍽️ How to use papaya flour:

Mixed with juices or water: ideal for daily consumption as an intestinal regulator (1 tablespoon/day).

In vitamins and smoothies: goes well with banana, orange, apple and yogurt.

In bread, cakes and pancakes: replaces part of the regular flour, adding fiber and a light fruity flavor.

On fruits and cereals: sprinkled on breakfast or snacks.

In capsules or natural supplements: concentrated form in functional products.

⚠️ Usage tips:

Consume with plenty of water, as fiber needs liquid to act properly in the body.

Store in an airtight, dry container, away from moisture and light, to preserve nutrients and avoid lumps.

May have a light sweet and fruity flavor — ideal for natural recipes.
