Actually yaar, beetroot is a lifesaver during pregnancy, especially if you have low iron. I used to eat a small bowl of steamed beetroot salad with some chaat masala, it tasted so good!

Oh yes, absolutely! Beetroot is amazing for keeping your hemoglobin levels high, which is so important for you and the baby right now. I used to drink beetroot juice with carrots, it felt so nourishing.

My mother-in-law used to make beetroot poriyal for me almost every week to help with blood levels. My doctor also said it's excellent because it's rich in iron and folic acid. You can definitely eat it safely.

Yes, it's very safe and healthy. I had thyroid issues and had to be super careful with my diet, but my doctor highly recommended beetroot for my iron levels. Just make sure to keep up with your regular blood tests and doctor visits as advised.
