Putting papaya in the fridge will slow down the fruit’s ripening process, and it could also give it a watery taste. Nobody likes papaya with a watery taste. This fruit needs all of the flavor it can get, so you’re going to want to keep it out of the refrigerator.

When it’s ripe and ready, you can cut it up into small, bite-sized pieces, and enjoy this delicious, though mild, tropical fruit.
