Papaya is a delicious tropical fruit that provides fiber, vitamins and antioxidants, while its small black seeds have attracted attention as a traditional natural remedy. Some people consume papaya seeds because they believe they can support liver health, improve digestion and help with weight management.
Papaya seeds contain various plant compounds and have been investigated for their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. However, claims that papaya seeds can “cleanse” a fatty liver, cure diabetes, correct thyroid problems or rapidly flatten the belly are not supported by strong clinical evidence.
