You can eat the seeds of the papaya, but it should be done in moderation, for there is a mild toxin in them. It is used for medication, and Hawaiians traditionally eat 4 or 5 seeds when they open a papaya. It may act as a contraceptive in women, and has been shown to reduce sperm count in male monkeys and mice.
It has been used in making salad dressings and other food preparations.

What happens when you eat papaya everyday?
I think i read in a book by Harold Tietze (an Australian) that over three days he ate 3 papaya including the black seeds. It gave him a tremendous stomach pain... however a wart fell off his hand. I usually eat all of the white seeds, if the seeds are black i eat a few table spoons because they are very spicy. I blend them with the papaya in a smoothie with greens and banana. I eat the skin too if it is unblemished and mature green papaya as well. I have a recipe for papaya ginger beer here: http://www.rejoiceinlife.com/recipes/papayaBeer.php Recently i have been having a papaya shoothy every day and my fibromyalgia symptoms have disappeared. I am not sure if that is associated with the papaya or not. I am wondering how many black seeds i could eat?

Can you eat the skin of a papaya?
You ABSOLUTELY CAN eat the skin of a papaya. And "I don't think so" is not an answer! Most people choose not to eat the skin of a papaya, just like some people choose not to eat the skin of an apple, but papaya skin has many nutritional qualities that are also used for medicinal purposes. Even the seeds of a papaya are edible. I make papaya smoothies with vanilla ice cream. Cut up the papaya, add some vanilla ice cream, and use some milk or crushed iced in a blender. Very good!
How do papaya disperse its seeds?
Papayas have tiny black peppercorn sized seeds and several hundred in each Papaya. It is an easy fruit to pick. I would think an animal that ate a papaya would also eat some seeds and they would germinate after going through them.The fruit gets eaten which the animals eat and they do not get eaten because they are too big and then they germinate and grow into a new plant.
