I get these random cravings and lately its only cucumber with chaat masala. But mummy says raw things should be avoided. Is it actually ok in pregnancy?
Haan bilkul, cucumber is totally fine and actually good in pregnancy. I used to have it daily in summers, keeps you hydrated and helps with the bloating. Just wash it properly and you're good.
Yes it's perfectly fine, very cooling for the body which is nice. My mother always made me have cucumber and curd in summer pregnancy. Just rinse well to clean it, otherwise no problem at all.
Cucumber was my best friend in pregnancy yaar! Especially with a little black salt and chaat masala, so refreshing. Totally safe, eat as much as you want, just don't overdo the namak.
Cucumber is great actually, even when I had sugar issues my dietician said it's one of the safe ones, low on sugar and filling. Have it as a snack instead of fried stuff. Just keep it clean and fresh.
