The quality is poor; the product was already watery when I received it, and some parts were still quite hard when cut open. It wasn't particularly sweet, and I won't repurchase it.

Papaya packaging was done with bubble wrap so it didn't get damaged and it's also exactly as ripe as needed.

The papayas are fresh and green, the fruits are just the right size, not too small and not too big. From the angle of the photo, they look huge, but I left them for a whole week before cutting them and they were still fresh. They're delicious in bone broth soup or salad.

Hawaiian papayas are sweeter and softer than regular papayas. The large, oversized papayas you buy in supermarkets usually have a slightly bitter aftertaste, but these don't. They're delicious!

Papayas are always very small.
PhuongNguyen
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.
