                                According to cooking experts, rinsing the black, gelatinous seeds from a ripe papaya is a standard preparation step. But do you have to rinse papaya seeds before eating or is it just a matter of preference? Removing the slimy outer coating is not only for texture but also crucial for proper drying and storage.
