Tag: Swallowing seed

An avocado seed is a large, hard pit that can be the size of a ping-pong ball, making it a significant choking and intestinal blockage risk. While a small piece of a pit is generally harmless, swallowing one whole is a serious medical concern and should be treated as such.

Date seeds, or pits, are the hard, fibrous kernels found inside date fruits. While a date seed is not toxic, accidentally swallowing one can cause a moment of panic. The good news is that in most cases, swallowing a single date seed is unlikely to cause serious harm and it will likely pass through your digestive system without any issues.
