Snow Fungus and Papaya Sweet Soup

Why people make this sweet soup

Ripe papaya is rich in beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, polyphenols and flavonoids, and paired with yin-nourishing snow fungus it makes a gentle dessert that traditionally supports the skin and complexion, especially for people who often stay up late and wake with a dry mouth. Nourilo likes to keep ripe papayas on hand for exactly this kind of simple sweet soup — quick to prepare and easy to enjoy any day of the week.
