Wait, what, really? I've always been told not to.
Who told you not to? And what was their reason? π€
Papaya seeds are been used in many cultures as a natural remedy for various ailments, including intestinal parasites. Papaya seeds contain certain enzymes, like papain, and other compounds (I canβt remember all) that are appparntly effective against intestinal worms.
I also eat pumpkin seeds in the morning in an empty stomach for this same reason.
I do a full body check up every year and I can they have never found any parasites in my body and I would assume itβs because I am always eating foods like this. Iβm refried if this happening to me (some can get in the brain) so I do what I can to prevent this from ever happening to me.
