Patient's question:
Can children eat pomegranate seeds? Especially for a 11-month-old baby, I think pomegranates are very nutritious and have been wanting to give them to my 11-month-old baby. What do you think, can she eat them?Doctor's answer:
It's okay to eat a moderate amount, but be careful not to let the seeds get stuck in the baby. If the baby is not good at spitting up, it's best not to give them pomegranates. Pomegranates are full of treasures. The seeds of pomegranates contain a lot of vitamin C, polyphenols, and other strong antioxidants, which have multiple benefits. Eating too many may cause constipation. Pomegranates are considered a warm food. Generally, they won't have much effect on the gastrointestinal tract because they can be excreted with the stool.
