Brazilian Papaya appreciation post! 🇧🇷 Prices in Brazil can vary by neighborhood, variety (small papaya vs. large Formosa), whether purchased at a retail store or fruit stand, and priced by weight, unit or “lot”, but one thing is clear: current papaya prices are high, even in their country of origin.

We had some furry and feathery visitors at HLB Specialties this week!
Belle is fighting our CEO Andrés Ocampo for the mangosteen, but she will have to contend herself with the curly tail lizard outside the door…🦎😬
The Ibis is weighing out the options with Tropical Storm Alex heading our way. All are welcome. 😻 Happy Friday!

Sometimes papayas develop freckles, as shown in this picture. They are a natural occurrence and not a sign of decay. In fact, papayas with lots of freckles have a higher vitamin C content! The spots are a sign that the plant underwent extreme conditions, such as high temperatures or a cold snap. So next time you see papayas with lots of spots, don’t be shy and pick one up. 😊
