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?

To DRY OUT PAPAYA SEEDS from a fresh papaya: Roll the seeds between paper towels to pop the juice sacks. Once all the juice sacks are popped you are left with a black seed kernel. Place the seeds between dry paper towels and set aside to dry out for at least a week.

If you open the seed up there will be another seed that you can plant in the ground and grow papaya.

Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, papaya . There are probably a lot more if you think about it.

They both have many seeds.

We have many seeds being dispersed by water, wind, bees, butterflies, etc. Papaya seeds are enclosed inside its fruit. When ripe and sliced for consumption, the seed is exposed and dispersed by man or beasts. In the rural areas a ripen papaya do fall from its tree to the ground and devoured by chickens not kept inside the coop. These birds do also disperse papaya seed also.

Though there are many differences, many people get the papaya fruit confused with the mango. It's easy to do in the grocery store. The trees are different, the taste is different, and when you open them up, the mango has one central seed, whereas the papaya has a multitude of smaller seeds.
