Papaya Juice, diluted (homemade, no added sugar) is a simple homemade drink made from ripe papaya and water, commonly enjoyed in tropical cuisines as a refreshing beverage or breakfast drink. Papaya is native to the Americas but is now widely grown and used across tropical regions for juices, salads and smoothies.
As a beverage, Papaya Juice, diluted (homemade, no added sugar) is very light in energy and an easy way to get vitamin C — it supplies about 30mg of vitamin C per 100g — though most of the fruit's fiber is lost when strained and diluted. It contains minimal fat and protein and therefore won't contribute much to daily protein or fiber needs compared with eating the whole fruit.
Because it retains papaya's vitamins and carotenoids, this diluted juice is a good low-calorie, micronutrient-rich option, but it is less filling than whole papaya and provides few protective plant compounds compared with more concentrated fruit preparations or whole-food servings.
