Eating the twelve grapes on New Year’s Eve is a deep-rooted tradition in our country and a great way to start the year. However, sometimes it can be even dangerous to face the dozen fruits and it is important to keep these tips in mind to avoid choking.
The first thing to keep in mind is to prepare the grapes perfectly before midnight, wash them and put them in a comfortable container with good access for your hands.
For those family members more prone to choking, a good solution is to cut the grapes into smaller pieces to make it easier for them to ingest them.
Although the desire to follow the twelve bells may pressure us, we must eat the grapes at a leisurely pace and enjoying the fruit to avoid major disappointments.
Another key factor so that eating grapes does not get out of hand is to have a glass of water on hand, always useful in case of unexpected choking so that you can easily spit out the grapes or swallow them.
And the most important thing is to enjoy the moment and a tradition as curious as it is beautiful, which is usually spent with the family and in which it is not worth running out of air to comply with the rhythm of the chimes.
