I've heard that ash gourd is very healthy, and some people consume it raw as juice. I wanted to know if it's safe for me to eat ash gourd raw or drink its juice during pregnancy? Or should it always be cooked?
I almost drank raw ash gourd juice for detox and then panicked after reading about listeria risks! My doctor told me cooked is always safer during these nine months. Don't worry, just cook it well.
I avoided raw ash gourd juice because raw veggies can have bacteria, which is risky during pregnancy. If you are drinking it for sugar control, please discuss a proper diet plan with your doctor instead.
No, don't eat it raw. Raw vegetables can carry infections that are harmful during pregnancy. If you want the benefits, cook it properly or eat other cooked veggies.
Beta, pregnancy mein kachi cheezein khane se bacho, sankraman ka darr rehta hai. Safed petha (ash gourd) ko acche se paka kar sabji bana kar khao. Kisi bhi kachay juice se abhi door hi raho toh achha hai.
It's generally better to avoid raw ash gourd juice during pregnancy because of the risk of bacterial infections. Cooking it thoroughly makes it much safer. Hope this helps you!
