Green papaya dal

RAW PAPAYA MOONG DAL CURRY / GREEN PAPAYA DAL [ southindian style ]

Raw papaya has exceptional amounts of carotenoids, in fact more than carrots and tomatoes. Also, the carotenoids found in raw papaya are more bio-available to the human body.

 It has a lot more active enzymes than its ripe version. The two power-packed enzymes of raw papaya include chymopapain and papain. Both enzymes help breakdown protein fats and carbohydrates.

The fibre  acts like an internal broom that helps anyone with chronic constipation, acidity, piles and diarrhoea. The enzyme latex present in raw papaya gives your body a sparkling cleanse from the inside.
