Papayas vary considerably in size, ranging from 2 1/3 inches to 18 inches (7–35 cm) in length and ½ to 22 lbs (0.250–10 kg) in weight. This size variation depends on the variety of papaya.
Here's a breakdown of the typical sizes:
- Length: 7 to 35 centimeters (2 1/3 inches to 18 inches)
- Weight: 0.250 to 10 kilograms (½ to 22 lbs)
Essentially, some papayas are small enough to hold in your hand, while others can be quite large and heavy. The size also depends on growing conditions and maturity at harvest.
