It's fresh but not ripe yet. I will cut after two or three days.

The papayas are small but very sweet, even though they weren't fully ripe. I peeled them while they were still firm, but they were incredibly sweet.
melendez.angelica5
This papaya is as small as my hand! I really thought it would be bigger, that's why I only bought one. I'm speechless!
Jisun
It is very fresh.
PhuongNguyen
Papayas are always very small.
anhloanng
Very disappointed. Figurative of the the 3 strawberry papaya order was very mashed. Even before cutting it open the papaya feels hallow to the touch. When cut it open there is no way to serve it in slices It has to be used in a smoothie, which was not the reason I purchased the papaya. The intention was to cut them into slices and served to the family. The staff who packed must have dropped it multiple times for it to feel hallow in 3 places and became almost mushy after cutting. WEE should train their staff to replace the product if the product is dropped and deformed.

My favorite is Hawaiian papaya; there are ten in a box.

Some were soft inside but still hard on the outside. They were still fairly sweet.

I picked the biggest one and cut it, but unfortunately, I lost quite a bit of the firmer outer layer. The sweetness was acceptable, and it was enhanced with lemon juice.
