Papaya is rich in an enzyme called papain (a protease which is useful in tenderizing meat) and other proteins. Its utility is in breaking down the tough meat fibers and it has been utilized for thousands of years in its native South America. It is included as a component in powdered meat tenderizers. The papaya enzyme, papain, is also marketed in tablet form to remedy digestive problems.

Because it's rich in vitamins and fiber (I think). And it's good for your skin, too. Try the solo variety. It's lovely. it doesn't get sooo mushy like other huge ones. It's just small, too.
