My mother-in-law made drumstick sambar today, and I love it. I'm just wondering if it's safe to eat it now that I'm pregnant. Is there anything I should be careful about with drumsticks?
Yes, my mother used to put drumsticks in my sambar all the time! They are very rich in iron and calcium, which is great for the baby. Just have them in normal food quantities.
Oh, drumstick in sambar is love! Don't stress too much about the old myths, eating cooked drumstick is totally fine and healthy. Just avoid having the root extracts or too many raw leaves.
Drumsticks are highly nutritious, but since some elders advise against them due to heat, it's best to eat them in moderation. Always ask your gynac during your routine checkup if you have any specific dietary restrictions.
Look, cooked drumsticks in normal amounts are perfectly safe and actually high in vitamins. Don't go eating wild moringa supplements or extracts, but normal household sabzi/sambar is completely fine.
