Does eating grapes with seeds work? So many are squeamish about anything with seeds. We have become a pansy society. Seedless watermelon, seedless grapes, seedless oranges, and on and on. Seeds don't hurt anyone, if anything they serve as a sort of rooter as they travel through the intestinal tract, scouring the lining of “stuck” material as they travel through, aiding peristalsis and are similar to fiber.
