Unlocking the Hidden Potential of Papaya Seeds: A Nutritional Treasure

Tea Infusion

Papaya seed tea is another simple option:

1. Wash the seeds thoroughly.
2. Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to a boil.
3. Add 1–2 tablespoons of papaya seeds.
4. Simmer for 5–10 minutes.
5. Strain and enjoy warm or chilled.

This infusion is often used to support digestion and overall wellness.

Recommended Dosage for Safety

Because papaya seeds are powerful, moderation is essential.

• Powdered form: 1–2 teaspoons per day.
• Raw form: A small handful (around 5–7 seeds).
• Tea: Once daily, brewed with 1–2 tablespoons of seeds.

Consuming too much may cause stomach discomfort, so it’s best to start small and monitor how your body responds.

Digestive Benefits: A Natural Powerhouse

Papaya seeds are rich in papain, an enzyme that helps break down proteins in the digestive tract. This makes them particularly useful for:

• Relieving bloating and indigestion
• Supporting nutrient absorption
• Promoting regular bowel movements

Their fiber content also helps maintain a healthy gut environment, reducing constipation and improving long-term digestive balance.
