Finding Papaya Leaves for Medicinal Use in the USA

Primary Sources

Most commercial papaya growers are in southern Florida (Homestead area). For wholesale or retail leaves:

• Herbal Gardens of South Florida, Inc. (Diane Galloway) – long-established herb supplier shipping nationally/internationally.
• Amazon.com – several retailers sell dried papaya leaves.

California Leads

Papaya is also grown in California, but commercial leaf suppliers are less visible. Contact California tropical fruit growers associations for leads.

Tip

Verify the supplier's quality certifications and whether leaves are grown without prohibited pesticides if for internal use.
