Myths about pomegranates that we still believe in

Pomegranate is a real storehouse of nutrients for children.

Useful for digestion

Pomegranate is rich in fiber, which supports the intestines, prevents constipation and promotes healthy digestion.

Improves memory

Polyphenols - the main antioxidants in pomegranate - have a positive effect on brain function, contributing to better memory and concentration.

Supports the immune system

Thanks to its high content of vitamin C and antioxidants, pomegranate strengthens the body's defenses and helps fight viruses and bacteria.

Takes care of the heart

Polyphenols and potassium in pomegranate have a positive effect on blood vessels and normalize blood pressure, supporting the health of the cardiovascular system.

"Pomegranate cures anemia" is a myth.

In fact, it contains very little iron and will not help raise hemoglobin.

At what age can pomegranates be offered to children?

From 8-9 months (if the child is able to eat small pieces), you can give the seeds crushed with a spoon. Always under the supervision of an adult.

From the age of 12 months, whole grains can be offered.
