The enzymes in Papayas make this powder a superior meat tenderizer. Use this on tough cuts of beef and pork to yield tender meat at the end of the cooking process. Simply rub the meat with the papaya powder and allow to sit for at least an hour. Season and cook as usual. Imparts a slight sweetness that's a great addition to many spice blends.

Ingredients: Dried powdered green papaya

Aurora R. ★★★★★

My chuck roast came out fork-tender after just a quick rub and a few hours in the Dutch oven—that enzyme kick really does the work. The powder itself is fine and easy to spread evenly, no clumping.

Lucy ★★★★★

I’ve used this on a chuck roast before smoking it, and the meat came out fork-tender without that mushy texture you sometimes get. It’s definitely a solid shortcut for tough cuts.

Madison L. ★★★★★

Left a dry rub on a chuck roast for a few hours, and the difference in texture was obvious—it pulled apart without any fight. No weird aftertaste, just tender beef.
