Made patta gobi sabzi last night and then my mom said avoid cabbage in pregnancy, something about washing it properly. Now im a little confused. Is it actually okay to eat or should i skip it?
Yes, just eat it well cooked, not raw in salads. Wash it thoroughly because leafy veggies can hold dirt and germs. I ate cooked cabbage sabzi through both pregnancies, no issues.
Cooked cabbage is fine and good fibre. I avoided raw because washing alone didnt feel safe enough to me. If it gives you gas, just have smaller portions, and check with your doctor if any food consistently troubles you.
