There was papaya in the fruit bowl today and my sister stopped me saying its not safe now. I always heard this growing up but never knew if it's actually true. anyone know the real reason behind this?
At home my mother always warned against raw papaya, its a common belief. I avoided it just to be at peace. The ripe one some eat in moderation, but I always check with my gynac before adding anything I am unsure of.
Beta hamare ghar mein hamesha bola jata hai raw papaya avoid karo during pregnancy, the green unripe one. Ripe pakka papaya in small amount log khate hain but honestly to be safe just ask your doctor, har koi alag hota hai.
Raw or unripe papaya is the one everyone says to avoid, and I stayed away from it both pregnancies. Fully ripe papaya in small quantity is usually considered okay but if u are unsure just skip it, plenty of other fruits to enjoy.
My MIL was very strict about no papaya at all during my pregnancy, specially the raw one. I just listened to keep peace at home honestly. There are so many safe fruits anyway so I didnt miss it much.
