Betsy,
What we snacked on in Korea always had pits in them.  The ones sliced up
with an exacto knife, they were for very thin garnish on cakes, so no seed
there.

And sam gye tang, the sweet-savory stew, had dried jujubes stewed, seeds
always in them.  Chicken, sticky rice, garlic, ginseng, plus dried
jujubes.  So you ate the soft fruit off the seeds and did not swallow
them.  But you didn't swallow the chicken bones either!
