Papain Harvest
When you make a small cut on an unripe papaya, a white sap flows out, resembling milk and almost like harvesting natural rubber. This white liquid is called papaya latex. You might wonder what farmers do with this latex?. Well, this latex contains papain, an enzyme with many uses, such as tenderizing meat, clarifying beer, and making cookies softer. It also has applications in other industries, making it quite economically valuable.
