| Papaya Seeds |
Last night, I cooked sinigang na pata. Cooking this
part of pork will really take time to make it tender. I remember about
Papain – the natural meat tenderizer. So, I added few pieces of papaya seeds
and it really worked!
Therefore, next time you buy papaya, don't throw the seeds away. Air-dry them and place in an air-tight container. Add few amounts if you want to make the meat tender faster.
By the way, papain has the ability to break down
meat fibers. This is also used as ingredient in powdered meat tenderizers in
the market.
