Question
Is it safe for a three-year-old to eat pomegranates? Can a child be allowed to eat them if they can spit out the seeds?
Answer
It is feasible for a three-year-old to consume pomegranates, but extra caution is necessary to prevent the child from swallowing the seeds. Generally, this will not affect the child’s health. Pomegranates are rich in vitamin C and beneficial for health. Parents can also make pomegranate juice for the child. At this age, children typically learn to spit out the seeds. Usually, even if the child does not spit out the seeds while eating the pomegranate, there should not be any major issues.
