Save those Papaya Seeds!

So I got 2 papayas from the store to cut up and freeze chunks for smoothies. When you cut them open the beautiful seeds inside are revealed. Have you ever ate one of the seeds before? They are spicy! You can use papaya seeds as an alternative to peppercorns!

Here is how ….

Scrap the seeds out of the papayas and place in a bowl.
I find if you add water all the stuff you don’t want floats to the top.
Place seeds on a dehydrator sheet and dehydrate until completely dried. I just let them go over night.
All dehydrated!
Pretty cool! Now they are ready for a pepper grinder.
I got a good amount of papaya to freeze too! The peals went into the compost. Nothing was wasted!
