Question

Parents are concerned, if a 11-month-old baby can spit out pomegranate seeds by himself, is it appropriate to eat them?

Answer

Pomegranate seeds are rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that are beneficial for slowing down aging and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, pomegranate seed oil contains antioxidant factors that can effectively eliminate free radicals in the body, slowing down the aging process. However, for young babies whose gastrointestinal functions are not yet fully mature, it is recommended to avoid giving such foods to ensure the baby’s health and safety.
