A ripe papaya should have vibrant orange skin. The change in color, from green to orange, is a visual cue that indicates the ripeness of a papaya. This transition is primarily due to the release of carotenoids, which are responsible for the vibrant orange hue. The color should be evenly distributed without any signs of green or significant blemishes. If the skin is still green, it’s not ripe yet. However, some papaya varieties may remain green even when ripe, so this method does not always work.
