“Fruit of the angels” as what it was reputably known for because of its deliciously sweet taste with musky undertones and a soft, butter-like consistency.  It was once considered as exotic, but they can now be found in markets throughout the year.  Its tree produces all year round, though there is a slight seasonal peak during summer and fall.

One of its health benefits is the colon cleansing power of the fruit because of its nutrients which have also been shown to be helpful in the prevention of colon cancer.  Its fiber is able to bind to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keep them away from the healthy colon cells.  The folate, Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and Vitamin E within the said fruit have been associated with a reduced risk of colon cancer.  Indeed, this fruit is truly a wonder, and I am only referring to no other than Papaya!
