There are three kinds of papayas commonly found in Taiwan and China: Tainong No. 2 (臺農2號), Sunrise (日陞), and Red Lady (紅妃). Most of the papaya trees certified as organic in Hong Kong are Red Lady (紅妃).
Supply Season：Available in Hong Kong all year round, the most suitable period is from May to September.
Storage Method：Like bananas, papaya tastes best when it's not too green and ripe -- three-quarters yellow is perfect. To keep the same perfect taste and texture, put it in the refrigerator.
Proper Care and Handling
Keep papaya in a refrigerated area at 10-12.8°C to maintain a shelf life of 5-7 days.
Never cool unripe papaya below 7.2°C as this will permanently stop the ripening process.
Please note, touch the papaya with your hands to see its maturity. After beating the unripe, you can wrap it in a newspaper and check it again in one to two days. Both bananas and papayas are crops that need to be matured. After taking home, you must confirm whether the papaya is ripe before putting it in the refrigerator. For unripe papayas, if you put it in the refrigerator before it is ripe, it may never be ripe. It will make the papaya ripen slowly.
It can be stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. It is recommended to eat it as soon as possible after purchase.
Don't put papaya in the refrigerator if it is not ripe, otherwise it will become a "dumb fruit" and will never be ripe!
