Suddenly craving chikki so badly in my second trimester haha. But not sure if all that sugar and peanuts is ok ya not during pregnancy. Anyone been eating it?
I used to crave peanut brittle so much during my pregnancy! I ate it in moderation and had a safe C-section recovery later. Just check if your doctor is happy with your blood sugar levels before eating too much sweet.
Peanut chikki is actually very good for iron and energy, so you can eat a little. Just don't overdo it because of the sugar or jaggery. If you have any gestational diabetes symptoms or severe stomach pain, always ask your doc.
Go ahead and enjoy your chikki! Just make sure you leave some for the baby, or else they will complain about your sweet tooth later! Keep your blood sugar in check and enjoy.
I felt so guilty whenever I wanted to eat sweets during my first pregnancy. But my doctor told me a small piece of peanut brittle is perfectly fine as long as there is no allergy. Eating it made me feel so happy and relieved!
Beta, peanut and gur are very warm, so eat only one small piece a day, especially in the early months. Too much heat in the body is not good. Wash your mouth well after eating to avoid dental issues.
