Question
Can a three-year-old child eat pomegranate? At what age is it appropriate for a child to start eating pomegranate?
Answer
Pomegranate, a nutritious fruit containing 231 milligrams of potassium per 100 grams, can effectively supplement potassium for children when consumed, promoting metabolism, aiding in defecation and detoxification, and regulating the body’s acid-base balance, thereby maintaining the normal operation of the nervous system and promoting healthy development of the nervous system. Additionally, pomegranates are rich in proteins, vitamin C, organic acids, sugars, fats, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and potassium. Moderate consumption by children not only supplements nutrition but also aids in their growth and development.
