Question
Can children eat pomegranate seeds? Especially for a 1-year-old?
Answer
Some babies may experience diarrhea after eating pomegranate seeds, which is due to poor intestinal function leading to indigestion. Additionally, pomegranate seeds can stay in the intestines for a longer period of time, potentially causing fiber to absorb water and swell, leading to constipation. Generally, if the amount eaten is small, there should not be any significant problems, as undigested pomegranate seeds will be excreted naturally.
