This is really insightful... The benefits of papaya seeds aren’t that well known and many people probably just discard the seeds when prepping a papaya for eating.

Would like to add on...
Papaya seeds can be used as a substitute for pepper, and a great way to reap the benefits is to continuously add bits of it throughout the day to food. You simply dry the seeds, add them to a pepper grinder, and then use as you would pepper. The taste is slightly bitter and takes some getting used to.
