The kiwi fruit is juicy, fragrant and delicious, with a pleasant sweet and sour taste. In addition to containing rich protein, sugar, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals, the most noteworthy thing is the rich vitamin C content of kiwi fruit. According to analysis, every 100 grams of pulp contains 100-420 mg of vitamin C, ranking among the top among fruits. Many mothers want their babies to eat delicious kiwi fruit. So what are the benefits of eating kiwi fruit for babies? Let me introduce it to you below.

The nutritional value of kiwi fruit is much higher than that of ordinary fruits. Every 100 grams of fruit contains 200-400 mg of vitamin C, 8 grams of sugar, 1.6 grams of protein, 42.2 mg of phosphorus, 34 mg of calcium, 145 mg of potassium, and 19.7 mg of magnesium. It also contains organic acids, vitamin P, carotene and actinidin. The vitamin C content in it is 6-12 times higher than that in citrus, 40-80 times higher than that in apples, 70-140 times higher than that in pears, and 9-18 times higher than that in tomatoes. It is truly a "treasure house" of vitamin C. It also contains 17 kinds of amino acids needed by the human body, tannic acid, citric acid, etc. It is a nutritious fruit.

Scientists have discovered that eating more foods rich in vitamins can block the synthesis of nitrosamines, a strong carcinogen, and reduce the incidence of gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. One kiwi fruit can basically meet the body's daily requirement of vitamin C. Children are prone to allergies when eating kiwi fruit. A scientific investigation in the UK shows that children eating too much kiwi fruit may cause severe allergic reactions, and even lead to collapse. The study shows that children under 5 years old are most likely to develop kiwi allergy. Among the 300 respondents, 80 were children, and two-thirds of them had adverse reactions when eating kiwi fruit for the first time. Two four-month-old babies and a one-year-old baby had such severe reactions that they had to be hospitalized. Adverse reactions to kiwi fruit in children include itching of the mouth and throat and swelling of the tongue. Among the 41 people surveyed, 40% of them were children under the age of 5 and developed severe symptoms of dyspnea and collapse after eating kiwi fruit. However, no death was reported due to eating kiwi fruit.

What are the benefits of eating kiwi fruit for babies? I believe everyone has understood it. Here I would like to remind everyone that when babies eat kiwis, they should choose different ways of eating according to their different ages. It is best for Chinese babies to add kiwi puree as complementary food in appropriate amounts after 8 months. As the baby's age continues to increase, the way of eating kiwi fruit can be gradually "upgraded". After one year old, the whole kiwi fruit can be eaten.
