Do Sesame seeds digest?
Yes.
The seeds are rich in manganese, copper, and calcium (90 mg per tablespoon for unhulled seeds, only 10 mg for hulled seeds), and contain Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and Vitamin E (tocopherol). They contain powerful antioxidants called lignans, which are also anti-carcinogenic. They also contain phytosterols, which block cholesterol production. Sesame contains one lignan unique to it called sesamin. The nutrients of sesame seeds are better absorbed if they are ground or pulverised before consumption

Headphones: you can listen to music you like or keep other noise out.
Most seeds do not digest unless properly chewed or what have you; that is why people with diverticulitis have to watch out for all seeds.
