Of the many superfruits out there, papaya is often overlooked and passed over due to the inconvenience of finding it at local stores or a lack of knowledge surrounding the fruit.

You may be surprised to learn that papaya is actually one of the best fruits you can put into your body. With its protein-digesting enzyme papain, it’s the perfect choice for improved gut health. It also provides that boost in antioxidants - specifically vitamins A, C, E and beta carotene - that you may be looking for in your fruit intake.

Maybe you already knew all this about papaya fruit, but most people don’t know about the health punch that papaya leaves as well as the seeds pack in. If you’ve eaten papaya in the past, you would probably scoop out the seeds and eat the fruit by itself, but by doing this you are missing out on the many health benefits they provide. Here is why you should also eat the papaya seeds.

Papaya seeds have a high amount of the powerful enzyme papain, which supports a healthy digestive tract. If you’re dealing with indigestion or other well known digestive issues, a daily intake of papaya seeds can do wonders for keeping a healthy gut.

As well as aiding in every day digestion issues, papaya seeds can also help with cleansing your gut from parasites. Similar to how papain helps digestion through breaking down undigested protein waste, it can also break down parasites because it views them as excessive proteins and toxins.

Papaya seeds have been used for centuries in Chinese medicine for improving vital functioning of the liver. Because of the cleansing benefits of papaya seeds, they can be helpful if used by people with excessive alcohol consumption.

These powerful seeds contain enzymes that have the ability to lower inflammation and promote healing. In Latin America, a paste made from the seeds was traditionally applied to burns and wounds to speed recovery. The seeds are also commonly used to benefit asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory conditions.

Papaya seeds have documented heart benefits. Among other things, the seeds effectively control diabetes and hypertension. An alkaloid found in the seeds, slows heart rate by reducing blood pressure. In terms of efficacy, it’s even been compared to a drug typically prescribed to heart patients.

A study published in the journal Nutrition and Cancer examined the chemopreventive properties of the seeds. They found that the seeds’ flavonoids prevented cancer through their antioxidative and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. In particular, the compounds protected both healthy cells and the genetic information they contain.

There are plenty of health benefits that could be said about papaya, but the seeds are one part of the fruit that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Many people just focus on the fruit, but there are many ways to use the leaf and seeds of the papaya for health, especially if you use them as supplements as part of a daily health regiment.

Lastly, if you’re wondering about the best way to include papaya seeds in your diet, they have an earthy taste to them so they are best used in eggs, salads, yogurts, or blended with smoothies.
They can also be used as a black pepper substitute and freshly ground as such. They can be air dried for 2-3 days and then blended or you can simply pop a few in your mouth if you don’t mind the earthy taste.

Papain, an enzyme in papaya is not safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women, as it may cause birth defects or miscarriage. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid consuming unripe papaya, as well as papaya seeds.

So, next time you eat a papaya, save a scoop of those seeds for later. Your body will thank you.
