Why do we eat pomegranates during the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Pomegranate is one of the must-have fruits for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The skin of a mature pomegranate is bright red or pink, and often cracks open, revealing the crystal-like gemstone-like seeds. It is sweet and sour and juicy. Although it is troublesome to eat, it is very delicious. Because of its bright color and plump seeds, it is often used as a festive fruit, symbolizing fertility and prosperity.

Old Hefei people believe that pomegranates have many seeds, and eating pomegranates will bring them the blessing of "many children" from heaven. In ancient times, many children meant more blessings. Therefore, in the eyes of old Hefei people, pomegranates represent "many children and more blessings". Pomegranates are auspicious fruits for the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolizing longevity, reunion and auspiciousness.

In addition to its beautiful meaning, pomegranate is also rich in nutrients. Pomegranate is a berry, and its vitamin C content is one to two times higher than that of apples and pears. The water-soluble dietary fiber rich in pomegranates will not be decomposed by enzymes in the human digestive tract, which can relieve constipation and diarrhea, a two-way regulation effect. Therefore, you should chew the seeds when eating pomegranates.

Pomegranates are also rich in various acids, including organic acids and folic acid, which have health benefits for the human body. Pomegranates contain anthocyanins, so eating more pomegranates can protect our eyes. Ladies who love beauty should eat more pomegranates, because pomegranates have excellent antioxidant function and are also very beneficial to beauty.

The British Daily Mail reported that a new study announced at the European Society of Cardiology annual meeting also found that eating pomegranates properly can help maintain blood vessel health and thus reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In addition, pomegranates have antidiarrheal effects. Since crabs and chrysanthemum tea are cold, people who are prone to diarrhea should eat some pomegranates after meals. However, it should be noted that patients with gastritis should not eat them.

Things to note when eating pomegranates during the Mid-Autumn Festival

1. Pomegranate is not only delicious but also nutritious. However, we cannot eat too much, otherwise it may cause acute proctitis and damage dental health.

2. Generally speaking, ordinary people only need to eat one medium-sized pomegranate a day, while the elderly and those with poor gastrointestinal function only need half a pomegranate a day.

3. Some people should avoid eating pomegranates, for example: patients with acute pelvic inflammatory disease, urethritis, diabetes, and those with colds should avoid eating pomegranates.

4. Pomegranate contains alkaloids and organic acids. The pigments in its juice can dye teeth black, so you must rinse your mouth or brush your teeth quickly after eating pomegranate.
