The smell of papaya, why does papaya smell

Bend down and unbuckle your belt and you'll smell it.

The reason for the smell of papaya may be the natural papaya hormone brought by the fruit itself or the fact that some melon farmers use electricity and soil to warm and ripen papaya, which can be eaten normally and will not cause any harm to the body. However, if the papaya has been left for a long time and has a foul smell and obvious signs of decay, it is recommended to throw it away directly.

Papaya is now a relatively common fruit on the market, with high nutritional value, often eaten by people in soup, and has certain benefits to the body, but after we buy papaya back, we may find that it has a strange smell, which affects appetite very much.

The reason why papaya has a slight smell may be due to the natural papaya hormones brought by the fruit itself and some melon farmers will use electricity and soil to warm and ripen papaya, which will not have any impact on the consumption of papaya, so we can eat it normally, if we are not used to it, we can use other ingredients to stew together.

However, if the papaya has been left for a long time and there is a foul smell, and there are obvious traces of decay, then it is best to throw it away directly, do not continue to eat, at this time the nutrients in it will be greatly reduced, the taste is not good, and it will also breed a large number of bacteria, which will have adverse effects on the body.

Botanical culture. There are two theories about when papaya came to China. Some people believe that the "Lingnan Miscellaneous Records" recorded papaya, which was written at the end of the 17th century, indicating that papaya has been cultivated in China for at least 300 years. Some people also believe that Wang Yan's "Tang Yulin" in the Song Dynasty talked about papaya, and this book was compiled based on the old materials of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the introduction of papaya into China should be in the early 12th century at the latest, and may be pushed back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest.

In Tang Yulin", it is said that the introduction of papaya into China caused a storm: there was a county guard in Huzhou who was a friend, and someone sent a papaya, because people had never seen it, they passed it on to each other to watch and play. At that time, there was a eunuch here who collected the papaya, saying that this fruit palace should not be taken to pay tribute first.

After the eunuch put away the papaya, he quickly returned to Beijing by boat.

The county guard was very annoyed by this matter, and was afraid that the emperor would blame him after the eunuch returned to the palace. At this time, an official prostitute who was helping to drink said please don't worry, it is estimated that this papaya will be thrown into the water overnight. Soon, the person who sent the eunuch back to Beijing really reported that the papaya had festered and had been thrown the next day.

After hearing this, the county guard admired the knowledge of the official prostitute, and after detailed inquiry, he learned that papaya is difficult to keep fresh for a long time, especially when ripe papaya has been touched by many people's hands, and it is not easy to hide it for a long time. On September 1, 2010, China issued the safety certificate of genetically modified organisms in papaya agriculture, officially introducing the commercial cultivation of genetically modified papaya. Rich in nutritional value.
