Question
Macadamia nuts are a type of nut native to Australia, also known as Queensland nuts or Australian walnuts. They contain up to 60-80% oil and are rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, B2, and amino acids. Can babies eat macadamia nuts?
Answer
Although macadamia nuts are rich in nutrients, their high fat content and potential for causing allergies may not be suitable for young babies. It is recommended to gradually introduce other types of nuts and seeds after babies start eating solid foods to increase nutritional intake sources. When introducing new foods, it is important to closely monitor for any allergic reactions. If there are any questions, it is advisable to consult a medical professional.
