Question
My baby is already 1 year old, and my husband bought some pomegranates yesterday. The baby wants to eat them, can a 1-year-old baby eat pomegranates, and what are the benefits?
Answer
Pomegranates contain nutrients such as protein, which, when consumed in moderation, can be beneficial for a 1-year-old baby. Since children’s bodily functions may not be fully developed, they are more susceptible to bacterial invasion. Eating pomegranates can supplement protein, enhance immunity, strengthen the body’s resistance, and thus help combat bacterial invasions. Additionally, pomegranates are rich in vitamins C, organic acids, sugars, fats, calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and other nutrients. Moderate consumption can help supplement nutrition and promote the baby’s growth and development.
