The papaya(from Carib via Spanish), papaw, is the plant Carica papaya, one of the accepted species in the genus Carica of the family Caricaceae. It is native to the tropics of the Americas, perhaps from southern Mexico and neighbouring Central America.[5] It was first cultivated in Mexico[citation needed] several centuries before the emergence of the Mesoamerican classical civilisations. Deliciously sweet with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency, it is no wonder the papaya was reputably called the “fruit of the angels” by Christopher Columbus. Once considered quite exotic, they can now be found in markets throughout the year. Although there is a slight seasonal peak in early summer and fall, papaya trees produce fruit year round.
