Move over dried mango because Trader Joe’s has just unveiled everyone’s favorite new dried fruit snack obsession: Dried Australian Red Papaya.
Red papaya trees are a staple of the landscape in Australia and it is specifically the warm, tropical climate of North Queensland where Trader Joe’s has sourced its papaya from. Working with a supplier in the region, ripe red papayas are selected and dried until they achieve the perfect texture and sweetness. Because Trader Joe’s chooses red papayas instead of their yellow-fleshed counterparts, the fruit is sweet enough that no extra sugar needs to be added.
As for how to enjoy Dried Australian Red Papaya, the brand suggests adding them to your morning yogurt, chopping them up to make homemade trail mix, or simply enjoying them straight out of the bag.
