ok... the ripeness of this fruit is bewildering. i use unripe (white meat) papaya for thai salads. i use the ripe/sweet meat for salsa and chutney... Now you tell me to find one that is in between??!!! How do i know this at the store for pete's sake? And does "raw papaya" in most recipes refer to the white unripened fruit usually??
HELP ME OUT HERE.......

make sure the papaya is really hard and red inside
but not ripe
this is the perfect stage to use the papaya for this recipe
