Papaya - How to Buy, Cut, & Prepare Papaya

To make papaya wedges or cubes, you will need to peel the papaya. The easiest way to do this: Hold the papaya virtically and run your knife downward along the skin in long slices. Again, try not to slice too deeply, or you will lose a lot of the fruit (or use a vegetable peeler).

Alternatively, you can cut the papaya into slices and use a knife to peel the skin off each slice.
