Papaya pavlova

Serves - 2

Papaya or Paw Paw is a tropical fruit packed full of enzymes that aid digestion and antioxidants that reduce inflammation. The orange flesh is high in Lycopene, which is great for heart health and protective against certain cancers.

Papaya seeds are high in fibre, vitamins and minerals and are useful for neutralising harmful bacteria, E. coli, Staphylococcus, Salmonella and parasites. They should be consumed in small amounts.
