Hello. Typically any such dryfruit seeds are natural, i.e. organic in nature. They are either digested in the system or come out during passing stools if it could not be digested in the system. Usually it comes out. This should not be a big problem. However, keep a watch on any allergic reaction like rashes etc. and watch for the seed come out mixed in the stools.
