Did you know that papaya peels are an incredible source of nutrients? This papaya peel juice is a healthy and refreshing drink that makes the most of the fruit, avoiding waste. Originating from Latin American home cooking, this recipe turns what is normally discarded into a delicious infusion rich in fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A.
By boiling the peels and seeds, their beneficial compounds are extracted. Then, by blending the cooked peels, you get a cream that is mixed with the cooking liquid, resulting in a beverage with a unique texture and a soft, earthy flavor. It is ideal for those looking for natural options to improve digestion or boost their immune system.

Peel the papaya and place the peels and seeds in a pot to boil. I left them for about 30 minutes approximately.
After the cooking time, strain everything and reserve the cooking water and the cooked shells.
Place the drained shells in the mini mixer and add some of the cooking juice. (I drained it so that I could remove the seeds)
Process the cooked shells until there is a cream left.
Add the shell paste to the cooking water, sweeten to taste and refill the jar with bottled water.
