Ingredients
  

  • Papaya
  • Spoon
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Paper towel
  • Airtight container
  • Refrigerator

Instructions
 

  • The first thing you need to do is wash the whole papaya thoroughly under running water to remove debris or dirt. 
  • Next, pat the fruit dry with a paper towel and use a sharp knife to cut ends off it. 
  • Cut fruit lengthwise and scrape away the seeds of the papaya using a spoon. Ensure not to scoop too deeply into the fruit so you won't lose some of its flesh. 
  • Remove the skin of the papaya using a vegetable peeler. 
  • Cut the papaya into your desired shape and size. 
  • Transfer the slices to an airtight container. 
  • Slide the container into the refrigerator.
