Papaya
Papaya is MASSIVELY rich in vitamin C. We all know that vit C helps boost immunity but did you also know that it Vitamin C produces collagen, to make up the structure of our skin, bone and connective tissue. Without vitamin C we would be in a sorry state of repair.
Vitamin C also helps make neurotransmitters to carry signals to and from the brain. Yep, vit C is a star.
Papaya is also high in folate, for brain and nervous system health. So you could say papaya is a brilliant brain food, as well as tasting delicious in this recipe.
And it doesn’t stop there. Papaya packs in LOADS of betacarotene to help your eyes stay healthy and see in the dark!
