Pawpaw seeds, also known as papaya seeds, are rich in several nutrients and have been associated with various health benefits.
One of the most significant health benefits of pawpaw seeds is their high content of antioxidants.

Some studies have also suggested that pawpaw seeds may have anti-cancer properties. The seeds contain a compound called lycopene, which has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells.
