Just wondering how DAFNE treats red papaya (paw paw) In some carb counting sites they say 140 grames = 9.7 grms Carb but in other places it says No carbs?? |

Hi Jo, I certainly count red papaya as carbs. Mine are home grown and I believe sweeter than the shop bought variety. I count it as equivalent to apple ( 100g weight = 10g carb). This works out OK. But I do find fruit to be a bit of a guessing game re weight as I certainly do not weigh each piece of fruit! They are delicious at the moment! Best with a small banana and a squeeze of lime (25g carbs all up). Best wishes, Helen |

Thanks Helen, Fruit is certainly a guessing game at times but I will try the carb count next time I eat this delicious fruit! |
