Can a ten-month-old baby eat pomegranate?

Patient's question:

Just now my husband bought some sour pomegranates from the market, and I'm eating them now. They're really delicious. I'd like to give some to the baby too. The baby just turned ten months old. May I ask if it's okay for him to eat them?

Doctor's answer:

It can be eaten, but you need to use a juicer to squeeze the pomegranate into juice, otherwise it might get stuck in the baby's mouth, which would be bad. Don't eat too much. Considering the baby is now 10 months old, it's okay to drink some pomegranate juice appropriately, and it won't cause any heat. Pomegranates are particularly rich in nutrients, containing a variety of nutrients that the human body needs. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and B vitamins, organic acids, sugars, proteins, fats, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium.
