Micro Ingredients Organic Papaya Powder, 8 oz | No Fillers or Additives

When it seemed I had a bezoar (undigested plant fiber in gut), I read you can often get rid of one just by drinking certain sodas. (you should still be working under doctor supervision). I'm allergic to all the sodas they suggest, so I went my own way... I bought some spindrift soda water, added lemon juice for the acidity and added this papaya powder for both the taste and the digestive enzymes. I'm very picky about pure ingredients, since most companies add all sorts of processing agents that are not listed on the labels. Micro-ingredients is the brand I trust for purity. This powder blends well into beverages, yogurt, and whatever else you need. No allergenic anti-clumping agents like the other brands. No added color. Excellent value, especially if you consider the expense of trying to keep fresh papaya around.

Papaya is one of the most nutrient dense foods available. I've purchased several papaya powders, and I like this one best. I love the fact that this is just papaya. No additives, preservatives, etc. It's healthy. I purchased this powder because I was having some minor hair shedding due to stress. I don't think anyone who experiences hair shedding for any reason wants it to get worse. So, now I'm taking collagen, vitamins, using a scalp massager, a red/NIR light panel, and I'm being super careful about what I eat. (I definitely don't want to get to the point where I consider Minoxadil. Too many adverse side effects.) Papaya, which is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as potassium and calcium, helps thicken thinning hair, and it helps keep thick hair thick. I mix this in oatmeal or use it in a smoothie at least four times a week. Since I've been doing so, my hair shedding has almost stopped completely, and my hair just feels, and looks, healthier. And, this is delicious! I love fruits, all fruits, and papaya is a favorite. I'll often have a papaya and banana smoothie or a tropical smoothie of papaya, banana, pineapple, mango, and orange. I often have one for lunch and save my veggies for a big dinner salad. This is sold by weight, so don't stress if your package isn't completely full. And, if you live in a very humid climate, I'd store the powder in the refrigerator so it doesn't clump. This is a very delicious powder, just filled with all kinds of health benefits. (It helps digestion as well.) You can't go wrong with this one.

This papaya powder is great, I add it to my smoothies to support gut health. It has a subtle taste and smell of papaya which is nice although it gets lost in the smoothie with other fruits. It is a great way to have papaya handy without having to buy it fresh and the price is reasonable since you only need a scoop each time.

I liked the flavor and smell of this papaya powder, but it didn't agree with me. I feel like everyone is different and has nothing to do with the quality. Mixes very well. I do think it's pricey though.

I love this product. It's good and it helps the digestive system.

This is by far the best tasting papaya enzyme and is organic. I bought a reputable brand that I won't mention, that used aspartame to sweeten the supplements, horrible product. But this will brand will be the only one I will be using for now on.

I have come to trust and depend on the quality of this brand. I use their wonderful cranberry powder also. The papaya I take for it's wonderful digestive benefits, and you definitely feel the improvement. There is NO mistaking this is papaya. Another reviewer seemed to question this, which is a shame as it might deter another from purchasing this fabulous stuff. The advantage of a powder is no fillers, no preservatives, no additives just the organic fruit into your smoothie or drink. I have reordered and product is always consistent and fresh. I use the cranberry to maintain urinary health, both of these fruit powders have enhanced and maintained my health and taste fabulous. I LOVE and depend on this vendor

This is an acceptable, sanitary pack of yellow/orange fruit powder. After one package I can only say that it has unknown health effects in my system. Whether it is actually papaya is an unknown in my mind. It does not smell or taste like papaya, and in fact it smells more like pumpkin or squash that has been dried down and powdered. The amount you get for quite a bit of money is very small. The spoon they provide is also tiny - maybe a 1/2 teaspoon - and I cannot imagine that small of an amount helping my system in any way. So, I triple the amount and use a heaping teaspoon in smoothies. I have also just mixed it up in water or milk, and it tastes fine, but again more like squash or pumpkin. There is no great sweetness that you would get with, for example, dried chunks of papaya, and this makes me suspicious (along with the pumpkin smell) that it may not be pure papaya. I have been through a full package, and am not noticing any significant effects on my body or bowels, but I am ordering another package just to give it a good test. It mixes well but is essentially a suspension, so if you are making a beverage that is thinner than a smoothy, you will need to mix frequently while drinking.

Nice product
