Regarding esrogim the year after shemittah, when you prepare them to be made into jam, is it muttar to throw away the seeds?

Welcome to Mi Yodeya! Thanks for bringing your question here. Note that the site makes no guarantee of validity, and does not offer rabbinic advice. Treat information from this site like it came from a crowd of your friends and use it to inform a consultation with your rabbi for a definitive ruling. On another note, might I recommend you edit the question to include why you think it may be necessary to use the seeds? That would make your question make a lot more sense to those unaware of your thought process and not intimately familiar with the concerns of sh'mita.– msh210 ♦Commented Oct 12, 2015 at 4:56

1@DannySchoemann, I think this is a dupe of my question from during Succos (which you linked).– Noach MiFrankfurtCommented Oct 12, 2015 at 13:56

It is permitted, as the prohibition of wasting shmitta produce only applies to the parts of the fruit normally eaten by people. See in the following link shiur number 11 for detailed sources on the matter: http://eretzhemdah.org/content.asp?PageId=823&lang=he
