Papayas grow in both India and Puerto Rico two lands with deep sun, rich soil, and cultures that move through rhythm, flavor, and storytelling. In one, it’s chopped green and folded into spice. In the other, it's softened in syrup and served with love. In both, it sits at the center of the table — a gesture of care, culture, and connection.

Papaya Collective was born from that shared center.
