Was that completely dumb? Don't aske me why -tryign to save the fiber and nutrients? I just pureed adn froze 5 large organic papayas and if I was wrong to leave the skin on (very ripe, very soft skin, and yes I took out the seeds) then I'm gonna be soooooooooo frustrated. But I'd rather know that make myself sick. Now that I read directions everything says to peel papayas. My plan is to use it to make smoothies.
I'm so famous for reading directions after I"ve completely whacked up whatever it was I was tryign to do.

Well...let me tell you a story about a young woman who did the same with a mango and did not feel very well afterwards. That was me. The inside/flesh of the papaya is the SF--the skin obviously not. I once, unknowingly, ate papaya skin & flesh and had a horrible stomach ache, nausea, cramping, and D.
Maybe you'll be fine with it, but it's not something I would do again. Silly me used to consume kiwi skins until I learned better. Truthfully, though...I don't think it's wise & a pretty bad idea--been there, done it. Idiotic me has even eaten the skins (unpureed) with dastardly effects.
Kate, IBS-D.

Yes, you are supposed to peel the skin off. You aren't supposed to eat the skin and I wouldn't if I was you. But papayas are very good for digestion.
Blessings,
