What you may not know is that the humble, tropical *PAPAYA*, available throughout the year, turns out to be the *king of fruits!*.
*Papaya* has been selected by the WHO (World Health Organisation) for the second consecutive year as the fruit with the highest nutritional values, the *king of fruits!*.
Why? Here r the facts abt the papaya!!
The nutritional values of papaya r as follows:
1. *Calcium* is twice as much as apples.
2. *Vitamin C* is 13 times that of apples, 7 times that of bananas, 7 times that of watermelons, 8 times that of cherries, and 1.3 times that of pineapples.
3. *Vitamin A* is 10 times that of kiwi fruits, 18 times that of apples, 1.5 times that of bananas, 1.5 times that of watermelons, 15 times that of cherries and 16 times that of pineapples.
4. *Vitamin K* is 5 times that of bananas, 2.5 times that of watermelons, and 4 times that of pineapples.
5. *Carotenoids* related to eye protection, including lycopene, beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, are 2000 times more than kiwi fruits, apples, cherries and pineapples. Bananas, and guavas have no such ingredients.
