Brilio.net - Maintaining a healthy body can be done by paying attention to the food intake that we consume. It is important to ensure that daily food contains sufficient nutrition and nutrients. One type of food that must always be in the diet is vegetables. Of the various choices of vegetables, papaya leaves are one that can be a healthy choice.
Papaya leaves are vegetables that are easy to find. If you have a papaya tree in your yard, you can easily pick the leaves as needed. In addition, papaya leaves are also available in the market at affordable prices, making it easy for everyone to access.
Although papaya leaves have health benefits and are easy to find, some people are still reluctant to consume them. The bitter taste of papaya leaves is often the main reason, and if not processed properly, the texture can be tough when eaten. This can make some people feel uncomfortable consuming it.
As a solution, many people boil papaya leaves with various additional ingredients such as tamarind, clay, or salt. The purpose of this process is to speed up the softening of papaya leaves and reduce their bitter taste. However, there is another simpler way to process papaya leaves without having to prepare these additional ingredients.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Mukminatus Ika on Wednesday (18/9), wash the papaya leaves that will be processed. If they are clean, put the papaya leaves in a container filled with clean water.
"Soak the Japanese papaya leaves for 15 minutes," he said.

After softening soaked for 15 minutes, drain the papaya leaves. Without the need to add any ingredients, immediately put the papaya leaves into boiling water. Press the papaya leaves using a spatula will be completely submerged in the boiling water.
"Boil until the leaves are soft, about 25 minutes," he explained further.
