Are Fruit Seeds Safe to Eat? Expert Advice on Seed Consumption

Question
Hi Karen,
I saw on a TV program that eating seeds is healthy - but seeds that I wouldn't normally think of eating:  plums, nectarines, peaches...
Is this healthy?
Thank you,
Charissa

Answer
Hi Charissa,

I've never heard of this before and can't think of any reason why it would be beneficial. Although I don't know for sure, I would also be concerned that these types of seeds might contain substances that could be potentially harmful, as there are other plants that we eat one part of but another part is considered harmful.

Hope that helps!

Karen
