Papaya sap is the milky fluid extracted from the unripe fruit, leaves, and stems of the papaya tree (Carica papaya). It contains a variety of enzymes, particularly papain, which is known for its proteolytic properties and is often used in meat tenderizers and digestive aids.

However, it can also cause skin irritation in some individuals, so caution is advised when handling it.
