Question

Which of the following items was used as a meat tenderizer and also eaten?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - Papaya.

The green papaya, apart from being a healthy exotic fruit, also has some other uses, maybe surprisingly, but it has a use as a meat tenderizer. This fruit is used for this purpose because of the enzyme that it is containing, the papain, which is an enzyme that manages to break down the peptide bonds. In essence, this means that the papain of the papaya manages to break up the harder structure of the meat, thus making it softer and easier for consumption.

Answer 2

Yes, C) Papaya is correct, I just took the test and can varify it is NOT Pineapple.
