High Grade Papaya Seeds

Papaya seeds are a good source of many important nutrients, including antioxidants, monounsaturated fats, and fiber.

Studies have found that papaya seeds could help fight infections, promote kidney health, protect against cancer and enhance digestive health.

The most well-known benefit to papaya seeds is how they help in digestion. Papayas contain the enzyme papain, which supports a healthy digestive track. Papaya seeds are thought to have an antibacterial effect on the digestive system.

Once the papaya seeds have been dried, they can be used just like a seasoning. The dried seeds do not have the strong pungency that the fresh ones do; rather their flavor is similar to black peppercorn. Dried papaya seed is often used as a suitable substitute for ground black pepper. Papaya seeds are also used in salad dressings.
