We will ship you one papaya, protected to ensure good arrival, and sent via 2 Day shipping. Size varies a bit, but the papaya will weigh between 3-4 lbs, and yields 3 to 4 cups of shredded papaya. Highly perishable and should be shredded immediately after arrival. Soak shredded papaya in salt water for a few hours, drain and store in sealed container in fridge for longest keeping.
Please Note: Produce ships via USPS (2 Day) so please provide an address that can be used for USPS delivery.

Lao-style Clay Mortar and Pestle
Handmade in Thailand of long-lasting clay, this is a traditional mortar & pestle used to make a wide range of Thai and Laotian dishes.
See our recipe for som tum for a popular favorite
This mortar is a crude, simple fired clay, very "rustic" in appearance and definitely not a work of art; however, it's highly functional.
The mortar is 6.5 in. deep and 8 in. wide, with a capacity of approx 8 cups. The pestle is made of beechwood (as any other material would break the mortar) and is 11 in. long.
Our clay mortar and pestle was featured in The New York Times Style Magazine.
We also offer a much heavier stone mortar and pestle.
