Popularly known for its fruit, the papaya plant's leaves also have many uses, especially to create a remarkable herbal tea.
Since humans first began cultivating it thousands of years ago, papaya fruit has become synonymous with tropical deliciousness. Few people know, however, that the leaves of this tree are also valuable in their own right, with numerous applications. It is served as a leafy green vegetable in some countries, added to salads or steamed, similar to spinach. The leaves are also used as a natural meat tenderizer, wrapped around tough meat to let it tenderize overnight. The tradition of papaya leaf tea goes back several centuries, and is now being noticed worldwide in the herbal tea community. The tea is smooth, with a subtle, slightly bitter flavor. It can be pleasantly accompanied by a bit of honey, which complements the natural flavor and makes it a very enjoyable cup of herbal tea.
When you add papaya leaf tea to your healthy lifestyle, you will also receive a natural boost of essential vitamins and minerals. Drinking papaya leaf tea is a convenient way to enjoy the benefits of vitamin C, vitamin D, and niacin, and all the minerals it has to offer, like calcium, potassium, manganese, iron and magnesium. Papaya leaf is also known to contain flavonoids like quercetin, tannins, alkaloids, and its chief constituent, papain, many of which offer antioxidant properties. Now you can enjoy this tea and all its riches even more.
