Here is the recipe for the Green papaya Thai salad from our diabetes dietitian Ujjwala Baxi’s kitchen!
Benefits
Serves 4-5
Ingredients
According to studies, eating green papaya, a high-fibre fruit, may lower blood glucose levels in persons with type 1 diabetes. It may also enhance lipid, insulin, and blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes. In my opinion, consuming one small green papaya regularly may help keep diabetes at bay.

Instructions
Other than anti-diabetic properties, green papaya is rich in antioxidant and wound-healing properties. In my experience, mashed papaya appears to help accelerate wound healing and avoid burn infection when applied topically. Papaya contains the proteolytic enzymes chymopapain and papain, which are thought to be responsible for their beneficial effects.
