Patient's question:
A child of one of my neighbors, a little baby, put the seeds of pomegranate into their nostril. If it is possible to spit out the seeds by themselves, can they eat pomegranate?Doctor's answer:
Infants and young children can eat pomegranates. Pomegranates are especially suitable for children during their growth and development period. Be careful that young children may choke on them when eating. Pomegranates should not be consumed when children have constipation, as they have a constipating effect.Pomegranates are highly nutritious fruits. The seeds inside are mostly pink or jade-white, crystal clear and lustrous, resembling pearls and jade. They have a unique flavor and are rich in nutrients. Their vitamin C content is 1 to 2 times higher than that of apples and pears, and they are also rich in sugar, acid, phosphorus, calcium, iron, and other nutrients. They also aid digestion and are very suitable for the elderly and children. Since ancient times, pomegranates have been regarded as a precious and delicous fruit.
