Answeryes, in asia, pineapple had been kind of food that stimulate early labour,induce your menstrual flow, and lead to miscarriage AnswerI think if pineapple induced labor it would be used rather than expensive drugs. Going into labor may follow eating pineapple but that does not mean the pineapple induced labor. AnswerNever heard of pineapple but spicy foods and sex has worked for many.

How do papaya disperse its seeds?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Papayas have tiny black peppercorn sized seeds and several hundred in each Papaya. It is an easy fruit to pick. I would think an animal that ate a papaya would also eat some seeds and they would germinate after going through them.
The fruit gets eaten which the animals eat and they do not get eaten because they are too big and then they germinate and grow into a new plant.

How do you dry papaya to make it meat tenderizer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes.there is a component in it called papain that breaks down fibers in the meat..

Making the Papaya Meat Tenderizer
All you need to make your own meat tenderizer at home is one medium-sized papaya fruit and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Rinse the papaya under warm water, then cut into the papaya about ¼" deep and peel off the skin. You should be left with a slightly soft, fleshy fruit.

Chop the papaya fruit into small cubes and place it in a small bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt, and then mash the papaya with a fork or the back of a spoon. You want to make a thick paste, so keep mixing until all the lumps are out of the mixture. You will need about one tablespoon of papaya mixture or every half pound of meat (all types).

Tenderizing Meat with Papaya
After you're prepared your meat tenderizer, you will need to activate the enzymes. This requires heating the meat to at least 140 °F, so all you need to do is heat the meat with the tenderizer on the stove, or in the oven. Different types of meat require different heating times, but you want to raise the temperature to no more than 160 °F or the tenderizer will become inactive. According to EnzymeDevelopment.com, Papain becomes completely inactive at a temperature range of 170-185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Check the temperature regularly when cooking the meat using your preferred method so you don't burn the meat, or lose the effects of the tenderizer.
