11) PAPAYA
Papaya is a tropical fruit with high nutritional value that originated in Central America and Mexico. In addition to being sweet and flavorful, papaya is high in Folate.
140 grams or one cup of raw papaya provides 53 micrograms of Folate, roughly 13% of the daily value. Furthermore, papaya is abundant in vitamin C, antioxidants, and potassium, such as carotenoids.
Pregnant women should avoid unripe papaya. Researchers believe that eating a lot of unripe papayas may induce early contractions in expectant mothers, although the evidence is poor.
