My MIL keeps telling me to avoid til completely, says it can cause problems early on. But I love putting it in chikki and laddoos. Im in my second trimester now, is it actually ok to eat or should i stay away?
Beta, in our homes til is used a lot but elders usually say take it in small normal amounts during pregnancy, not too much. A little in laddoos or food is fine. But for your case it is always best to ask your doctor once.
In normal cooking quantity sesame is generally fine, it is just the very large amounts that people caution about. I had it in food without issues. If you are unsure check with your gynac na.
We use sesame in cooking normally and it is fine in food quantity. My family said dont eat it in huge amounts, just regular use. My doc also said normal food amounts are okay.
