Can traditional fruits be juiced, son?

Because fruits are nutritious, many parents will start to supplement their babies with fruits. But sometimes because of developmental problems, many fruit babies can't eat it. In this case, parents usually have two ways to deal with it, one is to make puree and the other is to squeeze juice. In fact, these two forms are relative, and the production method of fruit puree is more suitable for babies. Let's analyze it.

First, juicing destroys nutrition. Considering that when juicing, most families use juicers. Although there are two kinds of juicers, one is squeezing juicer, and the other is juicer with filter screen, but the juice squeezed out is mostly water and sugar, as well as water-soluble nutrients, and most pectin and water-insoluble nutrients are discarded together with pomace. When most of the nutrients are discarded, the nutrients of fruits can be greatly reduced, which is why eating puree is more nutritious than drinking juice. And what needs to be understood is that because a lot of sugar has been dissolved in the juice, it is easy for the baby to drink a lot of juice to corrode the teeth. Therefore, it is not recommended for babies under one year old to drink any juice. Babies over one year old can drink some juice, but there is a limit.

Second, the advantages of fruit puree Fruit puree is suitable for babies over 6 months old. At this time, the baby has generally accepted complementary food and can eat some rice noodles and fruit puree. Compared with fruit juice, the main difference between puree and fruit juice is that it retains the pulp, so there is less loss of nutrients. When a baby swallows protoplasm, he can actually exercise his swallowing ability. At this time, you can start with some fruits that are not easy to be allergic, such as bananas and apples, and then choose some fruits that are allergic in the season, such as kiwi, pineapple and mango, or wait until the child is two years old before trying. Of course, in this case, if parents don't want to make the fruit into mud and are worried about destroying the nutrients, they can give the baby a small spoon and let him scrape the apples to eat, which can not only retain the nutrients, but also avoid oxidation and discoloration.

Parents should be reminded that the best time to eat mashed fruit or fresh fruit is between meals or after noon. Because of the high sugar content, eating before meals will affect the normal appetite. It should be noted that fruits should never be used instead of vegetables.
