Harvesting

Organic dried papaya is typically grown in tropical regions with warm climates, such as South America, Southeast Asia, and the Caribbean. Papaya trees thrive in well-drained soil and require ample sunlight to produce high-quality fruit. The fruit is harvested when it reaches peak ripeness, usually during the summer and autumn months, ensuring maximum sweetness and nutritional value.

Once harvested, the papayas are carefully dehydrated to create the dried form. This process helps preserve the natural composition of the fruit, including its vibrant orange colour and rich, sweet flavour. Organic dried papaya retains its natural nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fibre, making it a wholesome and nutritious snack.

The organic nature of Organic Dried Papaya Pieces means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Dried Papaya Pieces in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
