    8. commented which : " The papaya salsa is also good with other grilled or possibly steamed seafood. He further stated which Mexican papaya is larger and more orange than the Hawaiian papayas traditionally seen in supermarkets. Each has a different flavor as well. Both are sold in most supermarkets."
