My achaar cravings are next level rn, mummy ka homemade aam ka achaar i can eat with everything. But im worried about all the oil and namak in it. Is ghar ka pickle ok in moderation or better to avoid?
Oh I am craving spicy mango pickle so much lately! My mom sent some homemade ones, but is the high oil and salt content okay for the baby? Let me know how much you guys are eating daily.
Yes, homemade pickles are the absolute best for those spicy, tangy cravings! I eat a little bit with my parathas almost every day. Just make sure it is stored in a clean, dry jar so there is no fungus or infection risk.
I am in my 3rd trimester and honestly, homemade aachar is the only thing making my boring meals edible right now! It is safe to eat, just don't go overboard because the extra salt can cause swelling in your feet, which is already a nightmare for me!
When I asked the clinical dietician at my hospital about pickles, she said homemade ones are safe but to limit the quantity. She advised keeping track of salt intake to avoid any sudden blood pressure spikes. Definitely discuss your cravings with your doctor's team!
Homemade pickles are safe but eat them in moderation. My husband always tells pregnant patients that excessive salt can lead to water retention and high BP. Also, make sure the oil used is fresh and there is no mold in the jar.
You can have a little bit for taste, but be very careful. If you have any risk of gestational diabetes or high blood pressure, the high salt and oil in pickles are not good. Always check with your doctor and keep the portion very small.
