MIL made gobi sabzi today and then said maybe avoid it in pregnancy, now im confused haha. Im in 2nd trimester. Is it actually a problem or just a myth na?
I totally get why you are worried, I used to double check every single vegetable during my first trimester! But don't worry, cauliflower is completely safe. Just eat it hot and well-cooked to feel comfortable.
Gobhi is perfectly safe and nutritious during pregnancy. Just make sure to clean it well because of worms, and boil it before cooking. Having it in moderate amounts won't cause any issues.
I was wondering about this too because my mother-in-law said it causes gas. But actually, cooked gobhi is totally fine and healthy. Did you get any specific cravings for gobhi paratha yet?
Cauliflower is very healthy as it has folate, but it can cause gas and bloating. Just make sure to wash it in warm water with salt to remove any germs before cooking. Cook it properly and enjoy!
Beta, you can eat gobhi but always add a little hing or ginger while cooking to prevent gas. Don't eat it raw in salads, cooked is best. Take care of your digestion.
It is a great low-carb vegetable with good fiber! If you feel bloated after eating it, try going for a light 15-minute walk if your doctor has allowed it. That really helps with digestion.
