Yellow Maradol Papayas in album fruit
Feb 27th, 2011, by Alex Zorach
These yellow papayas, PLU code 3112, marked as papaya maradol were for sale at the Newark, Delaware Farmer's market for 99 cents a pound. This price can be rather steep, given how immense these fruit are.
These tropical fruit were actually in-season at the time this photograph was taken, but I did not try any so I cannot comment on their quality. These papayas actually look pretty good quality, as they have been allowed to ripen (turning them yellow) but show relatively few bruises.
