I cook capsicum almost daily, sabzi me, but suddenly started wondering if its ok during pregnancy. Im in my second trimester. koi issue toh nahi hota na with shimla mirch?
I recently delivered my baby and I ate capsicum throughout my pregnancy. It never caused any issues for me. Just avoid eating it raw in salads, cook it nicely in a dry sabzi or pasta.
Capsicum is completely fine to eat, yaar. Actually, I used to put it in my home-made pizzas to satisfy my cravings. Just don't make it too spicy because acidity is a real pain during these months.
Hey, don't stress too much about small food items, dear! Capsicum is totally safe and actually loaded with Vitamin C. Just make sure to wash it really well and cook it properly. Enjoy your mix veg or paneer jalfrezi!
Personally, I ate capsicum quite often in my stir-fries and never faced any trouble. It didn't affect my pregnancy at all. If you are prone to severe gas, maybe limit the quantity a bit.
I panicked when I ate a lot of capsicum in a Chinese dish and immediately started googling if it's safe! But it's totally normal and healthy. It has great vitamins, so enjoy it without any worry.
