Can i drink sabja seeds during pregnancy?

Question

Its getting so hot here and i really want to have sabja in my nimbu pani like i used to. Im in my second trimester now. Is it ok to have or should i avoid?

Girija Mangal · Answer

I had sabja in cool drinks during summer, soaked well and in small amount, it helped with the heat. But i kept it limited and always soak them properly first. If you have any condition do check with your doc once.

In small quantity its fine yaar, just soak it well before eating.

Mrinal Menon · Answer

Actually sabja was my fav in pregnancy yaar, so good in this heat. I just didnt overdo it, ek do chamach in a glass. No issue at all for me.

Beta sabja is cooling, in our home we add it to falooda and sherbet in garmi. Bas thoda hi lena, and soak it till it swells, never dry. Everything in moderation is fine.

Bhavna Prasad · Answer

Sabja itself is okay but watch what you mix it in, those sweet sherbets and faloodas are loaded with sugar. I had to be careful with that. Plain sabja in nimbu pani or just water is the safer way.
