Can children eat lamb testicles?

Lamb testicles, also known as lamb's testes, may be occasionally tried in small amounts by children who are slightly older and have good digestive function. However, infants and young children or those with weak digestion should not consume them. Detailed explanations are as follows:

If a child is over six years old, has normal digestive function, and does not have an allergic constitution, occasional consumption of small amounts of thoroughly cooked lamb testicles may supply nutrients such as protein and is unlikely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. In such cases, limited trials are acceptable.

For infants and young children or those with weak digestion who frequently experience symptoms such as abdominal distension and diarrhea, lamb testicles—which are high in protein and difficult to digest—may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion. In such cases, consumption should be avoided.

Before feeding lamb testicles to children, ensure the source is safe and that they are fully cooked. If symptoms such as vomiting or rashes occur after consumption, stop immediately and monitor the child. Medical attention should be sought promptly if symptoms are severe.
