Papaya

I also read where people have dried out the black round seeds in a papaya,
 ...in which there seems to be hundreds in one large fruit,
.......and ate them also.
Is there anything about if these seeds are healthy and compatible under BP?

Hi Frances

IMHO, the extra oil and quark might be causing the intestinal discomfort if it isn’t balanced with enough digestive enzymes. Dr. Budwig’s plan was carefully balanced, including sauerkraut to help with digestion, but also pineapple and papaya. Her product “Fermentgold” was a mix of papaya and apple juice. I’ve made this at home by blitzing papaya, then adding fresh apple juice and freshly ground flax seeds.
Eating papaya might help if you don’t have time for juicing.
Papain, the digestive enzyme in papaya, is also thought to aid the bioavailability of cucurmin, a well known cancer fighter. It has many other benefits too, so well worth adding to your husband’s arsenal!

Hi Ron

The seeds also contain valuable amounts of papain, therefore a great addition.
They can be blended into the papaya juice but as you say, there many, many seeds in one fruit, which might be too much for one’s taste.

A good suggestion is to use them in a pepper mill after drying them. They shouldn’t be exposed to heat, therefore, add them after serving the meal. 

I forgot to mention earlier that green, unripe papaya contains more papain.

Thank you Julie,
....I think I will gradually  add the seeds to my diet.
That is a good idea on putting the seeds into a pepper mill and then grinding them to serve.
