It's an enzyme in the seeds that is supposed to aid digestion. But it won't work on an undigestible substance like cellulose which is what grass is.

I remember having an order to give a child Adolph’s meat tenderizer decades ago to help dissolve a large piece of meat that was stuck in the throat. Papaya probably works the same way.

So the seeds are safe for them to eat too?

 

[azygous]

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you.

By the way, if you are watching this thread, I will stop tagging you (and Eggcessive and Wyorp Rock) with every post. I feel bad tagging all the time, but I just want to make sure you guys see my questions
