Papaya is a popular fruit known for its bright orange flesh and gut-friendly benefits. Since a whole papaya can be difficult to finish in one sitting, many people cut it in half and store the remaining portion for later.
However, papayas tend to ripen quickly. A fruit that looks perfectly fresh in the morning can become soft and watery within a short time. Fortunately, a simple aluminium foil trick may help slow down the ripening process and keep papaya fresh for longer.
