For a few months I've been subscribing to home deliveries of organic fruit
and veggies, mostly locally grown, but some from far away. My intake of
papaya, pineapple, kiwi, and suchlike, has skyrocketed, and to use all
this stuff I've been making lots of fruit smoothies and icies. I've also
been battling painful cracking at the corners of my mouth, something I
never experienced in my whole life, and thought was just another gawdamned
side effect of aging. I'd several times read about the effects of these
enzymes but it didn't go into my longterm memory partly because I didn't
think it had ever effected me so why worry about it. But now that I know
what it is I'm sure as hell gonna wash up after eating fruit! Still gonna
eat it though. It's tasty. And I'm pooping MUCH better I bet you're glad
to know.

I've seen them used for hedging in Africa where the plants can grow to
over 3 ft in height.

It's a seasoning salt of a sorts, but mostly it is a meat tenderizer.

There's also a plain Adolph's Meat Tenderizer devoid of seasonings and
salt. IIRC, it's pure papain. Actually, I could be wrong, but I don't
think the seasoned Adolph's contains salt either, as salt works against the
effect of papain. I sometimes put it on top round steak for grilling, as
that's David's choice. He doesn't like or appreciate the marbling of a god
steak. When I grill that for him, I grill a well marbled rib steak or
ribeye for myself.

Try telling the Mrs that!
She buys them at the request of daughter who then doesn't "get round" to
eating them presumably.

But no, I wouldn't specifically buy them for their aesthetic enhancement of
the composting process

The juice is supposed to be good for tenderising meat.

Drinking... pina coladas.

If you value your lips do NOT suck the bits of flesh that cling to
pared pineapple skin.

OT but still on---When I see the tennis player handed the fancy
Wimbledon trophy, with a pine apple at the very top, I am reminded
that pineapples also serve as a symbol of hospitality. Used to amaze
me that England knew about pineapples cuz they certainly don't grow
there- but it is a symbol.

Traditionally, Japanese would tenderize octopus by beating it with a
daikon radish :-) I'd have loved to have seen the process and daikons
are big and heavy enough but I wonder how well they lasted! For those
who don't know daikon, it is the julienned, white, almost tasteless if
slightly peppery stuff that is sometimes served with sushi.

Just choked on my coffee, then realised you were trying to grow the
top. In Oz "root" is also a slang word meaning the same thing as ****.
