my mom keeps making bajra roti at home esp now in winters and says its good for me. but someone told me bajra is heat producing so im a little confused. is it fine to have during pregnancy?
Yes bajra is good, it's full of iron and fiber which helps a lot in pregnancy. We had bajra rotis at home and my doctor was happy with it. Just have it in normal amounts, balance it with other grains too.
Bilkul beta, bajra to bahut achha hai, hamare yahan to sardiyon mein bajre ki roti zaroor banti hai. Iron milta hai isse jo is time chahiye. Bas thoda balance rakho, ek hi cheez roz roz nahi.
Bajra is actually a good choice, it has a lower glycemic impact than refined flour which helped me with my sugar levels. I switched some of my rotis to bajra during GD. Still, if you have diabetes do confirm portions with your doctor.
Yes totally, bajra is a healthy millet, good iron and fiber, helps with constipation too which is a real problem in pregnancy. I ate it regularly. Keep variety with wheat and other grains as well.
