What to Know about Our Organic Papaya Seed Powder | Herbal Goodness

We are often met with startled looks when we tell people that no part of the papaya fruit should be thrown away in the name of compost waste.

[What’s that?]

Yes, including papaya seeds too.

“Why, no way would I eat those bitter little things!,” we often hear.

Unbeknownst to many, papaya seeds are one helluva of a nutritional warrior, armed with many health benefits. And no, it’s not another of those old wives’ tales; there is some solid evidence to back it up.

Sadly, these benefits have not been making headlines in the public domain as they should, at least until alternative health started to gain traction. At Herbal Goodness, it is a narrative we are keen on spreading because truth be told, you are missing out on a LOT.

Untold Benefit

Papaya seeds are perceived to have several health benefits:

  • Removes toxin – If there is one thing papaya seeds are good at, it is their ability to cleanse our bodies starting with the liver. Consuming just a few scoops of these little bad boys each week can perk up your overall health a great deal.
  • Improves digestive health – Just like the humble papaya fruit, papaya seeds are packed with abundant digestive enzymes, most notable being papain (that agent responsible for tenderizing those barbecue cuts?).

The seeds are a potent source of these enzymes which facilitate the activities of good bacteria. The result is an enhanced functionality of the GI tract. Time to bid adieu to those unsettling digestive issues.

  • Nutritious – They may not be the poster child for the world’s most nutritious foods, but don’t be fooled. Papaya seeds are highly nutritious, and several research studies have shown them to be high in protein and fat.

They are also brimming with micronutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

This doesn’t mean you should indulge in them like they are going out of fashion. Moderation is key. Moderation is key.

  • Supports our Cardiovascular and Circulatory Systems – Papaya seeds, as with its fruit, hold powerful support for our immune and muscular systems largely to thank is the presence of two very important enzymes generally associated with papaya: papain as well as carpaine. 

Carpaine is one of the major alkaloid components of papaya seed and leaves which has been studied for its cardiovascular and Circulatory system effects
