It also provides vitamin-rich fruit benefits (like vitamin C and other antioxidants) that support everyday body defenses. It has natural sugar (about 8.8 g) and carbohydrates, so it\u2019s best to enjoy it as part of a balanced meal or snack rather than as a replacement for rice or viand. Sodium is very low (about 3 mg), which is good for heart-friendly eating.","healthier_tips":["Pair papaya with a protein or healthy fat for better balance\u2014e.g., papaya + plain yogurt, or papaya + a handful of nuts.","For snacks, aim for about 1 cup (roughly 100\u2013150 g) depending on your appetite, especially if you already had rice at lunch\/dinner.","If you\u2019re watching blood sugar, keep portions steady and avoid adding lots of sweetened condensed milk or sugar.","Choose ripe papaya and eat it fresh; it\u2019s naturally hydrating and easy to digest."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/papaya-fruit-ripe?agent=true"}}}
