Pepper Paw Paw

Pepper Paw Paw, in the context of Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean, refers to a snack made from unripe (green) papaya that is seasoned with salt, pepper, and often other spices like garlic or sometimes even a touch of vinegar or lime. Similar to pepper mango, it offers a contrasting flavor profile: the slightly bland or neutral taste of the green papaya is livened up by the salty and spicy seasonings. It’s a common street food, enjoyed for its refreshing and zesty flavor.
