We make rajma and chole quite often at ghar, and my MIL keeps saying beans cause gas so avoid. But i love them na. Is it actually fine to eat in pregnancy?
Actually, my doctor told me that thoroughly cooked beans are excellent for iron and protein. But he warned me to avoid raw or undercooked sprouts because of bacteria risk. Soaking them overnight and pressure cooking is the best way.
I am trying to conceive and was wondering this too because beans have so much protein. Do we need to soak them extra long to avoid gas? Let me know what works!
Beans are a great source of folate and fiber, but they can cause bloating. It's always best to get your doctor's advice on how to balance your diet. My doc suggested well-cooked rajma in moderation.
