Question
The 9-month-old baby has been crying and fussy lately, with decreased appetite. Can the baby eat dragon fruit?
Answer
Dragon fruit contains plant-based albumin and anthocyanins, as well as abundant water-soluble dietary fiber and vitamins. Additionally, the seeds of dragon fruit contain various enzymes and unsaturated fatty acids, which help promote gastrointestinal motility and improve constipation. Therefore, a 9-month-old baby can eat dragon fruit in moderation, but it should be cut into small pieces to avoid choking, and precautions should be taken for any allergic reactions.
