Im in my 2nd trimester and craving achar like crazy, specially mango wala. My MIL keeps saying itna sour mat khao but i cant stop. Is thoda bit ok or should i fully avoid?
Yes dear, you can definitely enjoy them but in small limits. I had severe mango pickle cravings during my days, but too much salt can cause leg swelling. Just have a tiny spoon with your meals to satisfy the taste.
I totally get why you are asking, even I used to worry about every single bite of spicy food. Pickles are safe but check if they are cleanly made. Don't stress, small portions are perfectly fine.
Haan na, aachar ke bina toh khana adhura lagta hai! Eat but thoda control mein khaana, otherwise acidity and water retention ho sakti hai. Ghar ka clean aachar is always best.
Is it store-bought or made at home? I got so worried about preservatives and unhygienic oil in market pickles. If it is homemade and clean, then thoda sa is fine, but don't eat too much dear.
Honestly, I literally survived on dadi's homemade nimbu ka aachar during my first trimester. It helped so much with my morning sickness! Just make sure it doesn't have too much oil and salt.
Oh God, I remember panicking after eating a huge spoonful of pickle and googling late at night! Actually, it is completely normal to crave sour stuff. Just drink extra water to balance the sodium.
