Xiangyou is a seasoning commonly found in many households, which can enhance the aroma of meals and is a common type of edible oil. Sesame oil can be consumed by adults and has a certain moisturizing effect on the digestive system. But for children, a group with incomplete gastrointestinal development, some people may ask, can children eat sesame oil?
Children can eat sesame oil. One of the benefits of sesame oil is that it can promote blood circulation, moisturize the intestines and stomach, and help children with constipation improve symptoms. General sesame oil is made from sesame seeds, which contain rich vitamins and linoleic acid found in sesame seeds and are easily absorbed by the human body.
The way to consume sesame oil is very simple. When cooking soup, you can add a small amount of sesame oil after the soup is cooked to enhance its aroma. When stir frying, you can add a small amount when the dish is almost ready, which can also help enhance its aroma. Sesame oil does not need to be heated when consumed, just mix it with food.
However, children's digestive system is not fully developed. If they consume sesame oil in moderation and excessively, it can lead to excessive moisturizing effects on the intestines, which can easily cause diarrhea in children. If this continues for a long time, the food that enters the child's stomach will not be absorbed and will be excreted, which will affect the child's development and growth. Moreover, due to gastrointestinal issues, children should wait until at least one year old before consuming sesame oil.
