Question
Autumn is the season for eating pomegranates, and with their sweet and tart taste, they are a favorite among many. Can a two-year-old baby eat the seeds when they have pomegranates?
Answer
Pomegranate juice contains various amino acids and trace elements that aid in digestion, prevent gastric ulcers, soften blood vessels, lower blood lipids and blood sugar, and reduce cholesterol. It can prevent coronary heart disease and hypertension, help with digestion, invigorate the spirit, increase appetite, and extend longevity. It also has the effect of detoxifying alcohol for those who drink excessively. All parts of the pomegranate, including the peel, roots, and flowers, can be used for medicinal purposes. The peel contains malic acid, tannins, and alkaloids among other components.
