This listing is for 25+ Papaya Seeds. All seeds come from my one tree. Papaya is a superfruit & fat free.

Can be used for planting or facial care.

Papaya seeds and papaya fruit offer many great skincare benefits. Papaya contains papain, which are special enzymes that can help exfoliate skin by breaking down the skin cells’ surface. These enzymes also help to prevent wrinkles, reduce pore size, and moisturize skin.

Papaya also includes natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which help to smooth, plump, and brighten skin. Since papaya has a low amount of sodium, it’s great for hydrating your skin, and it will also help to improve suppleness and skin elasticity. Keep in mind, when you make this mask, the alpha hydroxy acids and enzymes may make the mask burn just a bit. This is normal, but if the burning is unbearable, make sure you wash the mask off immediately.

A great recipe for a facial mask using papaya seeds is 1 part papaya seeds ground up in mortar & pestle, 1 part coconut oil, 1 part raw honey and 1 part ripe papaya.

Other things can be mixed in depending on your preferences. Like lemon, banana, cucumber, yogurt or rice powder.

Have fun with it!

Dig a hole half a meter across and fill it with a mix of good compost and soil. Now sprinkle on some of seeds. The seeds usually take about a couple of weeks to germinate, and may take longer. Soon you will notice that your seedlings are very different in size. Start removing the weaker ones. Only keep the very best and now put each small plant with the gap of 1 meter.

With good sunlight, good soil & lots of water, you could be picking the first ripe fruit within 10 months
