Things to know about salmon for babies

1. Salmon is a deep-sea fish with rich nutrition, but it is considered as an allergy food by the elderly. Babies should not eat salmon when they have a cold, getting angry or having inflammation, otherwise the condition may be aggravated. Babies under one year old should be fed with appropriate amount and observed carefully, as some babies may be allergic to salmon.

2. The color of salmon is directly proportional to its nutritional value. The darker the orange-red color, the higher the value and the fresher it is. This is because the darker the color, the higher the astaxanthin content it contains, which is different from choosing other salmon.

3. Salmon should not be eaten with persimmons. The protein in salmon will combine with the tannic acid in persimmons to form tannic acid protein, which will accumulate in the human body and cause symptoms such as vomiting, abdominal pain, and poisoning.

Benefits of eating salmon for children

Salmon is a cold-water fish that grows in high-latitude areas such as Canada, Norway, Japan, Russia, and Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, China. Salmon has tender meat, bright colors, and a smooth taste. In recent years, it has become a delicious dish on the family table. Fish is rich in complete protein. The amount and ratio of essential amino acids contained in fish protein are most suitable for human needs, and it is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, providing sufficient nutritional support for the baby's healthy physique. Salmon meat is orange-red, tender and has few bones. It is rich in astaxanthin and unsaturated fatty acids, which is very suitable for children to eat. Many families will choose salmon when adding complementary foods to their babies.

First: salmon has high nutritional value. In addition to being a high-protein, low-calorie healthy food, salmon also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, and phosphorus. Salmon liver oil is also rich in vitamin D, which can promote the body's absorption and utilization of calcium and help growth and development. Not only that, salmon is also rich in unsaturated fatty acids. Among all fish, salmon contains the most omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids (about 27 grams per 100 grams of salmon). Nutritional research has shown that omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids are essential substances for the brain, retina, and nervous system, and are very helpful for the development of babies.

Second: There is one biggest trouble with eating fish, that is "fish bones". When parents buy fish for their babies, in addition to considering the nutritional value of the fish itself, it is best to choose fish with fewer bones. Salmon has small scales and few bones, and its meat is orange-red. It is a fish with tender and delicious meat. Children are not likely to be in danger of being stuck by fish bones, and it is relatively safe to eat. Usually, we mostly eat salmon raw directly. The taste of raw salmon is also the best, and it is also rich in nutrition. However, eating salmon raw is not suitable for children, because they may have some parasites. The child's body has not yet fully developed and may not be able to withstand the invasion of parasites. Therefore, parents are better to use steaming, boiling, stewing and other methods. This way of eating is safer, lighter, and delicious. It is not suitable to use frying, roasting, frying and other methods. In addition, when cooking fish for children, vegetables can be added as side dishes, which not only increases the taste but also balances the nutrition. When stewing fish, you may wish to pair it with winter melon, mushrooms, radish, tofu, etc. But be careful, the taste should not be too salty, let alone add spicy and irritating seasonings, and chicken essence and MSG should be used less.
