Nuts are a nutritious food that provide us with proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, etc. They are a great source of flavor and energy but they are also one of the foods considered as more allergic. Especially the peanut. When someone has an allergy to a certain dry fruit, it usually lasts a lifetime, unlike other allergies where they can be overcome with age, such as fish or eggs.
The Spanish Society of Pediatric Immunology and Allergy reports that food allergy can affect up to 7% of the Spanish population and these begin during childhood, in fact it is not uncommon for a child to have some type of food allergy.
But returning to the issue of nuts, we must be very careful when we give the child some dry fruit, because if the child has any food reaction against nuts, such as itching, stomach pain, etc., he will not know how to tell us that something is happening to you and even more so if it is very small. Whenever we give some dried fruit, we must observe the child and more when it comes to the introduction of a new food in their diet, regardless of whether it is a dry fruit or not. We also have to take into account if there is a family history of any type of allergy related to nuts in order to be prevented, although in these cases, it is recommended that the child be 3 or 4 years old to start introducing them into their diet .
If your child has had an allergic reaction to a dried fruit, you must exercise extreme caution both with the fruit itself and with any product that may contain them, so you should carefully review the list of ingredients used in the preparation of a certain product
Food allergies are a very important issue to consider to ensure proper health in the child.
