Papaya.
Just papaya.
The short answer: semi-dried papaya (dehydrated papaya) that is soft and buttery, with a single ingredient. It tastes like a gentler, more fragrant mango, without being intense. It comes in a resealable 250 g bag and keeps for up to 12 months without a fridge.
One format, one bag.
The gentlest in the range: it does not shout, it caresses.
What it is. Papaya with part of its water removed. It is semi-dried, not dry all the way through: soft and buttery, not crunchy.
What it tastes like. A delicate, almost fragrant sweetness, with a tropical base that recalls mango but more subtle. If mango feels intense to you, start with papaya.
Ingredient: papaya. A single ingredient. Contains naturally occurring sugars.
Four ways to eat it.
On its own
After a meal, as a light dessert.
With yoghurt and granola
Chopped over the yoghurt.
In fruit salads
Mixed with other fruit, to add a gentle sweetness.
With a few drops of lime
The citrus gives it a fresh counterpoint.
What the pack says.
The pack has no nutrition table, so there are no figures or promises here. What is stated: a single ingredient, papaya. What is said about its properties is not something Born can claim without analysis or an authorised claim.
For little ones, in pieces.
Cut it into small pieces and make sure they eat sitting down and with an adult: being soft, it sticks to the teeth and they need to chew it well.
