How long can u store papayas
Ripe papayas should be refrigerated to slow down the ripening process. Papayas will ripen within a few days at room temperature, and even faster if you put them in a paper bag. Once ripe, this fruit will quickly turn to mush if not properly stored.
Place ripe, whole fruit in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, and it should last about a week.
To freeze, peel the papaya, slice lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Cut into pieces and pack into rigid containers or heavy duty plastic freezer bags. Cover with a 30 percent sugar solution (4 cups water to 2 cups sugar) and freeze up to ten months.
The thawed fruit will be soft so you may wish to use it in a partially-thawed state for fresh use applications. It will be fine for cooking purposes, although not quite as firm as fresh. You can also pop the thawed fruit into the blender for a puree or add a bit of water for a juice..
