How do I tell if a papaya is ripe?

[mamama]

Er, that's it really - how do I know?

It's going yellow but is hard.

TIA

Anyone? Pleeeaaaase?

I wanted to give it to DS for his dinner in 10 mins

A ripe Papaya is more than 75% yellow!

Yay! I'll go and chop it up then, thank you ScottishThistle

Your welcome!
