Papaya leaves are often avoided because of their distinctive bitter taste. Although many people are reluctant to consume them, papaya leaves are actually rich in benefits. The nutritional content in papaya leaves, such as vitamins A, C, E, and various enzymes, can help boost the immune system and speed up wound healing.

However, the bitter taste of papaya leaves cannot be considered trivial. This taste comes from the alkaloid, flavonoid, and tannin compounds contained in it. For some people, this bitter taste is very disturbing, so they prefer not to consume papaya leaves even though they know the benefits. In fact, there are several ways to reduce this bitter taste, such as boiling the leaves with salt or mixing them with other ingredients that have a stronger taste.
