Dried Papaya Chunks, No Added Sulfites, 3.5 oz

Rathan Yogi started Sivaro Snacks in 2021 in Queens, New York, with his father, chef Yogie Kanagaraajah. They began working with nuts and dried fruit in a home kitchen, bringing the flavors they knew from their Sri Lankan family to a snack business in New York. The family keeps the dried fruit recipes short and lists each ingredient on the bag, including the cane sugar used to sweeten the fruit.

These dried papaya chunks have a mellow tropical flavor and a tender chew. The ingredient list is short: papaya and cane sugar. The fruit is already cut into pieces, so it’s easy to take a few from the pouch or stir them into a bowl of oats.

Sivaro describes this recipe as made without added sulfites or dyes. It comes in one 3.5 oz resealable pouch. Compared with a tangier dried fruit, papaya has a quieter, lightly floral flavor, which works well alongside plain yogurt or an unsweetened cereal.

Origin Sivaro packs this snack in Queens, New York. The papaya is imported. Its source country and drying location are unverified.

Add a spoonful to plain oatmeal near the end of cooking so the pieces soften a little, or scatter them on a cold yogurt bowl to keep the original chew. If you prefer smaller pieces, chop a handful before mixing it through the oats.

Make a simple snack mix with papaya, pretzels and plain cereal. The fruit brings sweetness, and the other ingredients add crunch. If you set the papaya out for a group, leave the original pouch alongside the bowl so guests can see both ingredients and the facility notice.
