Filipino pickled papaya, also known as "atsara" or "atchara," has a distinct and tangy taste. It is a popular condiment in Filipino cuisine.
Sweet and sour: Filipino pickled papaya has a balance of sweetness and tanginess. The sweetness comes from the sugar or syrup used in the pickling process, while the tanginess is derived from the vinegar or citrus juice used to preserve the papaya.
Vibrant acidity: The pickling liquid, usually a combination of vinegar, sugar, and spices, imparts a vibrant acidity to the papaya.
Spices and aromatics: Filipino pickled papaya is often infused with spices and aromatics such as garlic, ginger, onions, and sometimes chili peppers.
Filipino pickled papaya (atsara/atchara) offers a delightful balance of sweetness, tanginess, and mild fruitiness.
The papaya in atsara is typically cut into thin.
