Papaya Paste - Natural Meat tenderizer Recipe
Green papaya is transformed into a natural meat tenderizer by blending chunks of the raw fruit with just enough water to create a smooth paste. The process preserves the skin and uses the green, unripe papaya to provide enzymes that help break down meat fibers. The resulting paste is portioned and frozen in small cubes for convenient use in meat preparation.
