Clean the outside of your papaya under cold water to remove any sticky substances, dirt, or debris. You don’t need to scrub or use any tools. Simply use your hand.
Use paper towels to completely dry your papaya. It’s important that it is completely dry to help avoid the growth of unwanted spoilage bacteria and mold.
Place your papaya in a paper bag and set it on the counter away from other food. You don’t need to seal the bag completely, but it is best to have the open end facing up.
Check on your papaya every day until it is ripened and ready to cut and serve.
