I know it's green papaya that's the boobie food, but is ripe papaya really useless for NBE? I deff can't get green papaya.

Both avocado smoothie and (ripe) papaya smoothie are wellknown boobie drinks in TW, ripe papaya may not be as effective as green papaya, still there are some boobie soups require it, the soup would taste a bit sweet.

Green papaya has more enzyme than ripe papaya (because it's the enzyme makes papaya ripe--just from what I read).

Are there any Vietnamese restaurants in your area? Vietnamese use green papaya in their dishes a lot, maybe you can ask them where to get it.

P.S. I heard that if you eat ripe papaya for a large quantity for a long period of time, it may cause your skin turns yellow, it will change back after you stop eating it.

Thanks Fengshui. No I don't think I'd find any Viatnamese restaurtants arround here, from what I know there isn't even an asian supermarket in my entire country! Too small market I guess. I'll be sure to watch out for yellow skin lol.

If you don't mind, Moon, what country are you in?

Sorry, I'm paranoid about internet safety, I'd rather not tell. :/

I understand :)

Moon,

Would you consider green papaya enzyme supplements instead? I got fullness from them, but haven't had access to them in over a year, but am considering trying to order them online for this time of year. Beth felt she had results in part due to the enzymes if I remember right.

Thanks Sunshine, I'll consider it. I do wish I could take more stuff in the form of food tho, cheaper and makes me feel better to eat healthily.

Hi Moon!

Have you notices any changes eating ripe papaya? I live in central Europe and I cant get green papaya either.
So I eat the ripes ones and I think it helps a bit...
