I removed the statement that papaya is not eaten raw. The source contains a correction in parentheses mentioning it is eaten raw in Vietnam and Thailand. I can provide citations to Thai cookbooks if needed.Hamster Drink (talk) 01:46, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ripe fruit use
I know its just a fruit, like any other, when ripe, but from the uses section, it would seem like all use of the fruit is in its green, unripe form. thats unbalanced. a sourced sentence about how its eaten ripe, and where, and popularity (or lack thereof). in california, the overwhelming examples in market are rpie or nearly ripe, much rarer to see green papaya labelled as such.50.193.19.66 (talk) 17:09, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Opening image
I suggest getting rid of the opening image of the article as it is dated to the 19th century, and added in 2005, since unchanged. It also isn't a picture, unlike the opening image of other fruits, vegetables, etc. I'd personally recommend a similar image featuring the papaya fruit, the tree and the flower in the wild, as well as being a picture uploaded to wikipedia commons (if necessary) and/or in the public domain. Thanks in advance. Usernamejustbecause (talk) 19:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Checking Wikimedia Commons, the article displays many of the best pictures of various papaya characteristics - the tree, flowers, leaves, fruit, seeds - and among fruits, has more images than most. The image used in the infobox, despite being a drawing, is the only one combining several features in one display. It seems suitable to me. Zefr (talk) 03:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
