We advice to peel fruits because the peel is mostly (useless) fiber, and pesticides and other contaminants are mostly present in the peel. If the fruits are organic and you like the peel, then you can choose not to peel. Seeds do contain some harmful substances, but are okay to eat, because they usually pass through unchanged.

Simply dont chew on the seeds; just swallow them.
