Pomegranate – a new word for me. I just know it by the name ‘Siuk Liu’. Everyday, we have a free fruit from the company. Pomegranate is one of them. Didi loves it very much. He can take the whole fruit by himself. Some may fall down on the floor or on the table but most of them will go into his tummy. Can the seed fully digest? I think nope. I can feel some of them from his stool. Feel through my hand when I was helping him to clean up. Didi hasn’t started the toilet train yet. Wait, a couple more months before start to train him. Will come naturally eventually. Lazy mummy now…
Oh on pomegranate. This fruit is good for constipation- with the seeds and full with Vitamin C. During my wedding, my mom has been asking me to look for the leave of the pomegranate tree. The tree must bear red flower. The leaves will be placed together in the basket which carry the ‘peng kim’/ dowry. What it is for? I don’t know. It’s just a custom to follow. Usually I never question my mom on all this custom and traditional way of handling thing. I never know about it and I guess I’ll not be able to pass it down to my boy too.
