Since papaya seeds are quite bitter, it is difficult to consume them raw. You can powder them and add them to juices, smoothies, or on top of desserts. Sprinkle them on curries and gravies to mask their flavour and reduce the bitter flavour. The seeds will add a peppery note to any dish that you sprinkle them on, so you can even add them to salads or stir-fries.

Make sure that you do not go overboard with papaya seed consumption, and always consult a doctor or nutritionist before making any major changes to the diet!
