Papaya- what kind?
I found a Hawaiian Papaya at Sprouts today. The Barcode says Cole Hawaiian Premium # 4394.
Tried to research it online, what kind it might be and if GMO or not. Anybody have an idea? Barcode reader on phone indicates no information found. |

Re: Papaya- what kind?
Aren't most if not all Hawaiian varieties GMO? Or is it just one variety, and the people talking about them are unaware of the diversity in Papayas?

Re: Papaya- what kind?
It's a Kapoho Solo.
The first link gives descriptions of 4 types, 3 of them are stated as being "genetically engineered". No such statement in the description of the Kapoho Solo. Hawaii Papaya Industry Association in Hawaii - Quality Hawaii Papayas Information This is the company that sells what you bought "cole". Calavo Growers http://calavo.com/storepdfs/Papaya.pdf The 4394 is the PLU (price Look Up). IFPS :: Search PLU Codes DM Last edited by Dangermouse01 : 04-02-2013 at 06:01 PM. |

Re: Papaya- what kind?
Kapoho is just down the road from me. Neat to think of where they end up.

Re: Papaya- what kind?
Agricultural Diagnostic Service Center - Seed Program @Ilia: no, the link from the University of Hawaii shows you that for example Sunrise, Sunset and x-77 are not GMO. I do have some seedlings going of these.
@dangermouse: thanks for your links, but what makes you think that the papaya in question is a Kapoho Solo? Sprouts did not claim it to be organic. It seems that Calavo bought Cole but I do not see them growing Kapoho Solo exclusively. |

Re: Papaya- what kind?
I too am interested in what makes Dangermouse believe that it is Kapoho Solo. I'd like to believe it is since I have about 150 seedlings from that same fruit that I bought from Sprouts. Thanks, Richard
