Sesame oil is a seasoning that many families have. It can add flavor to meals and is a common type of cooking oil. Sesame oil can be consumed by adults and has a certain effect of nourishing the stomach and intestines. But for children, whose gastrointestinal development is not fully developed, some people will ask, can children eat sesame oil?

Children can eat sesame oil. One of the effects of sesame oil is that it can promote blood circulation, moisten the intestines and stomach, and help children with constipation improve their symptoms. General sesame oil is made from sesame seeds. Sesame oil contains rich vitamins and linoleic acid in sesame seeds, which are easier to be absorbed by the body.

The way to consume sesame oil is very simple. When making soup, you can add a little sesame oil after the soup is cooked to enhance the aroma. When cooking, you can add a little when the vegetables are about to be fried, which can also help enhance the flavor of the vegetables. Sesame oil does not need to be heated when eating, you only need to mix the sesame oil with food.

However, children's gastrointestinal tract is not fully developed. If sesame oil is consumed without restraint and excessive consumption, the intestinal moisturizing effect of sesame oil will be excessive, which may easily cause diarrhea in children. If this happens for a long time, the food eaten in the child's stomach will be excreted before it has time to be absorbed, which will affect the child's development and growth. Moreover, due to gastrointestinal function problems, children must wait until they are at least one year old before they can consume sesame oil.
