Papaya ripens better and more evenly on the countertop
Papaya can often seem like one of the most intimidating fruits on the planet, but you don’t need to be scared of this pretty little thing. It’s your job to make sure that this fruit ripens at home, and the best way to do this is to keep it away from the refrigerator and stored somewhere better.
Merely place papaya on your countertop, where it can ripen on its own. All you need to do is turn it occasionally to make sure that the whole thing ripens evenly, so you can enjoy it as much as possible. As your refrigerator stunts the ripening of fruit, you want to avoid eating an unripe papaya. It’s not tasty.
