Last week I had indigestion, I just went to the fruit vendor down the street and got N100 pawpaw (I got one that was partly ripe) and ate, that was it. I was relieved within 15minutes.

Ripe pawpaw is sugary so eating a lot of it is not good for you.

Also, unripe pawpaw is not good for pregnant women as it contains papain and a certain latex, this combined may increase the risk of miscarriage or it may harm the baby.
