My MIL keeps giving me khubani and dried apricots saying its good for iron. Im in my second trimester and they do taste nice but I just want to be sure its ok to eat regularly. Anyone aware?
Yes apricots are safe and good, they have iron and fibre which help in pregnancy. I ate both fresh and a few dried ones. Just dont eat too many dried ones at once since they are high in sugar.
Apricots are healthy but dried ones are quite sugary, so with my GD I had to be careful. If your sugar is fine, fresh apricots are a lovely snack. Just watch the dried fruit portion na.
We had dried apricots soaked overnight, my mother said it is good for blood. I enjoyed a couple daily and my gynac had no objection. Just keep the quantity small and wash fresh ones well.
