Pistachios are a type of nut food with certain nutritional value, and their auspicious name makes them very popular. People buy some to celebrate festivals and holidays. However, babies' digestive system is not as good as adults'. So, some people wonder if a one year old baby can eat pistachios?
Although one year old babies have already started to eat complementary foods, they mostly eat fluid foods at this time, while pistachios belong to solid foods. In addition, the baby's gastrointestinal development is not particularly good, so it is not recommended for parents to give their babies complementary foods. It is better to wait until the baby is a little older to eat them. Even if parents plan to give their babies pistachios, it is best to crush the pistachios for them to eat first, so that the baby's digestive system can digest them.
However, babies cannot eat almonds. Because almonds contain bitter almonds, which are a toxin that can cause poisoning in the human body. Moreover, almonds and pistachios are very similar. Although there is no relationship between the two, it is easy to confuse them. Therefore, parents must be careful whether the pistachios they buy are normal and not let their babies eat almonds by mistake.
In fact, the various nutrients in pistachios can meet the needs of babies' bodies, enhance their physical fitness, and help the body detoxify. Moreover, pistachios contain anthocyanins and lutein, which can protect the retina and maintain normal vision. And there are also many antioxidants in pistachios that can protect the body from invasion by other bacteria. So sometimes it's also good to let babies eat some pistachios.
