Is it safe and healthy to eat/swallow pomegranate seeds or should we spit them out?

Safe.: The seeds are safe to eat, but should be avoided (like other seeds) in patients with a history of diverticulitis/diverticulosis.

Eat them.: They taste great. And they're loaded with antioxidants and are low in calories. Great food choice.
