My mom is after me to eat soaked badam and akhrot daily, says its good for the baby's brain. But i wanted to confirm from others if its actually fine in pregnancy. Anyone having them regularly?
In our home, my mother-in-law insisted on soaking them overnight to remove the 'heat' from the nuts. My doctor also agreed it's easier to digest that way. It is highly recommended for baby's growth.
Yes, they are the best quick snack to carry to office. I used to keep a small box of soaked almonds in my bag for those sudden hunger pangs during meetings. Very practical and keeps you full.
Yes, they are very safe and full of good nutrients, but please start with small quantities like 3-4 soaked almonds a day. Just make sure to eat them clean and soaked, and avoid anything too heavy in your early weeks.
Of course you can eat them, they are great for the baby's brain! Just don't eat them raw in summers as they cause heat; soak 4-5 almonds and 2 walnuts overnight, peel them, and eat in the morning.
