Answer:

She ate three pomegranate seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pomegranates are food of the underworld. Since she ate three seeds she has to live with hades for 3 months of the year. For that three months Demeter her mother roams the Earth making plants and crops die, and harsh weather occurs. Winter comes for 3 months and when Persephone returns summer, spring and autumn come.
