My saas makes drumstick leaves sabzi often and says its very good for the baby, full of iron etc. Im 18 weeks. But i read somewhere mixed things about it so now im unsure. Is it safe to eat during pregnancy or should i avoid?
Yes, drumstick leaves are excellent during pregnancy as they are loaded with iron and calcium. Just make sure you wash them thoroughly and cook them well before eating. Add them to dal or parathas!
I ate drumstick leaves soup regularly in my last trimester and it really helped keep my hemoglobin levels up. Just ensure they are cooked properly at home. They are super healthy!
I heard they are very hot in nature, is that true? I want to try them for iron but I'm slightly anxious if they can cause heat. How did you all cook them safely?
They are so good for you, dear. I remember my mom making drumstick leaves clear soup for me and it felt so comforting. It's wonderful for your health, so enjoy it gently.
Absolutely, they are a cheap and highly nutritious superfood! No need to buy expensive iron supplements if you can get natural nutrients from drumstick leaves in your daily food. Just cook them well.
Moringa or drumstick leaves are highly nutritious, but moderation is key as excess can cause digestive issues. It's always a good idea to discuss your dietary changes with your nutritionist or gynac.
They are super nutritious, so don't stress too much about eating them! Just clean them properly and cook them well. They are actually a great natural source of vitamins.
