Patient's question:
A small jar is filled with glutinous rice, but instead of eating the small jar, one should eat the glutinous rice. In fact, this thing is what is known as pomegranate. Can little babies eat pomegranate?Doctor's answer:
Generally, children can start eating pomegranates around 4-6 months old, which is when they can begin consuming complementary foods. Pomegranates are rich in nutrients, with vitamin C content that is one to two times higher than that of apples or pears. Eating some pomegranates can help support children's growth and development.Pomegranates contain nutrients such as protein. However, a child's bodily functions may not be fully developed, making them more susceptible to infections. Consuming pomegranates can help replenish protein effectively, boosting immunity and enhancing the body's resistance to pathogens, thereby aiding in the defense against infections.
