Papaya is my favorite fruit. When I was doing volunteer work in Costa Rica, I had some minor illnesses, like constipation, indigestion, skin rashes, sore throat, and a little bit of homesickness. No matter what my problem was, my host mom would always give me papaya and say, “¡Come un poco de papaya y te recuperarás!” (“Eat a little papaya and you will be fine!”)
