Can a pomegranate seed kill you?

i think it's a myth, but i heard if you eat a pomegranate seed, and swallow it whole, it will rupture in your stomach, and you will die.





any truth to this?

Can a pomegranate seed kill you?
No. That's like how people say swallowing a watermelon seed will make a watermelon grow inside you; it's physically impossible.


However, people may be getting this from the story in classic mythology where Persephone (daughter of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture) eats pomegranate seeds and has to spend six months in Hades. Keep in mind, though, that this story is meant as an explanation for why we have winter, not a warning about eating pomegranate seeds...
Reply:No truth at all, I eat the seeds...like I am now.

the only way one can kill you is if you shove it into someones heart and make it stop beating lol

ppl tells these types of stories so everyone will pay attention when they eat fruit and minimize chance of choking.
Reply:No, 100% a myth. I'd have been dead long ago. I use to eat them a lot when I was little.
