Papaya seeds have a peppery, slightly bitter taste but are easy to incorporate:
🥄 Internal Use:
- Chew ½–1 tsp raw seeds daily after meals for digestion or liver support.
- Blend 1 tsp into smoothies with banana or mango to mask bitterness.
- Sprinkle crushed seeds over salads or yogurt for a nutrient boost.
🌿 External Use: - Mix 1 tsp crushed seeds with 1 tbsp coconut oil or yogurt for a scalp or skin mask.
- Apply to clean skin or scalp, leave for 10–15 minutes, then rinse.
Dosage: Start with ½ tsp daily and increase to 1 tsp if tolerated. Limit to 1–2 tsp daily to avoid digestive upset.
Precautions and Who Should Avoid Them
Papaya seeds are generally safe in moderation but require caution:
⚠️ Contraindications: Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding, as carpaine may affect fetal development. Not suitable for children or those with papaya allergies.
⚠️ Medical Interactions: Consult a doctor if on blood thinners, as seeds may slow clotting. Those with kidney stones should avoid due to oxalate content.
⚠️ Side Effects: Overuse may cause nausea or diarrhea. Start small to test tolerance.
