Can i eat basil seeds during pregnancy?

Question

I enjoy putting basil seeds in my drinks, especially during summer. But now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if they are safe to consume. Can I continue to eat sabja seeds during pregnancy?

Kanchan Chavan · Answer

They are very cooling for the body, especially in summers. But please soak them completely and don't overdo it, okay?

Rani Mahajan · Answer

Haan, limited quantity me kha sakte hain na. Bas zyada mat lena, thoda cool down karne ke liye falooda ya paani me daal ke piyo.

Architha Panda · Answer

Safe to consume but don't eat them dry. Limit to a teaspoon soaked in water or milk once in a while.

Acidity is killing me in this heat, so soaked sabja seeds in lemon water are my life saver right now! Just keep the quantity small.
