Papaya waste upcycled into fruit bars enriched with whey protein

Papaya waste upcycled into fruit bars enriched with whey protein A public-private partnership is repurposing leftover papaya in Ethiopia to develop ‘affordable’ and ‘nutritious’ fruit bars enriched with whey protein, vitamins and minerals for locals. While most tropical fruits can grow well in Ethiopia, papaya is one of the most popular. Aside from being highly nutritious – the fruit is rich in vitamins A, B, and C – the crop is a source of income for more than 890,000 farmers.

A new public-private partnership is working to reduce this loss by upcycling leftover papaya into nutritious snack bars for locals.
