One of the most noticeable things is digestion improvement. Pawpaw seeds contain enzymes like papain, which help break down proteins.
Some people have reported that taking a small spoonful of seeds helps their stomach feel lighter, especially after heavy meals.

Another effect is detoxification of the liver. In traditional Kenyan medicine, pawpaw seeds are sometimes crushed and taken to “cleanse the liver.” While scientific studies are limited, many locals swear by this practice for improving overall energy and reducing bloating.
Interestingly, pawpaw seeds also fight parasites. Communities in rural areas use them to help with intestinal worms. The seeds contain compounds that may make it harder for parasites to survive, although they shouldn’t replace proper medical treatment.
Some people also notice slight bitterness or spiciness when consuming pawpaw seeds.
This is normal and is often described as a peppery taste. It can be taken alone, crushed, or mixed with honey to make it easier to swallow.
Finally, remember that pawpaw seeds are potent. A small amount can have strong effects, so start slowly.
If you have liver, kidney, or stomach issues, consult a health professional before using them regularly.

Next time you enjoy pawpaw, think twice before tossing the seeds—they might just do your body some good.
