Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 Ian, I got a papaya. I know it is supposed to be organic, but my Health Food store didn't have an organic one at this time, and hopefully conventional is better than nothing. I think this is probably a ridiculous question, but before drying the seeds, AM I supposed to rinse them? I would certainly think so because there is some papaya on some of the seeds; on the other hand, I thought I would check because I've heard things (who even knows if it's true) like you shouldn't rinse seaweed, for instance, because it affects the flavor, and I don't know if rinsing the seeds of the papaya would change their enzyme capability. Right now the seeds are just sitting on a plate waiting for me to find out if I should rinse them before putting them on wax paper and a cookie sheet to dry out. Thanks for any insights you can give me! Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2001 Report Share Posted February 11, 2001 No need to rinse hon. Just spread 'em out and let 'em dry out. Every once in a while, move them around so they don't stick together as they dry even though that's no big deal if they do.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Wow, you can do that too ( " put in the oven overnight on lowest temp " )??? The heat won't harm the enzymes at all? They really don't look too atttractive just sitting out here for all the world to view, I must say, so the oven sounds terrific. It's been a small price to pay, however, considering what the goal is. Even though they aren't ready yet, I've been popping one in my mouth each time before I eat, though I don't know if they have the full value yet.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 Sorcy- I put papaya seeds on my salads. Yeah it looks yukky. But it tastes peppery. I never thought of drying and putting into the peppermill. What a great idea!!!
