My mom made colocasia sabzi today, and I love it, but I heard some things are not good during pregnancy. Can I eat colocasia during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
Colocasia is fine to eat, but please make sure it is washed and boiled very well to remove any toxins or dirt. When you have had a difficult journey, you want to be extra careful with food hygiene.
Yes, colocasia (arbi) is totally safe and highly nutritious. Just make sure it is cooked thoroughly to avoid any throat irritation, especially if you are packing it for office lunch.
I am planning my pregnancy and trying to learn about traditional Indian veggies like colocasia. Good to know it is safe! I love arbi fry, so will keep this in mind.
My saas always insisted on boiling colocasia properly with ajwain because it can be heavy to digest. It tasted great and never caused any issues. Try having it in lunch rather than dinner.
I literally had arbi ki sabzi last week of my pregnancy! It tasted amazing and gave me good energy. Just cook it with some carom seeds (ajwain) to prevent gas or bloating.
I ate arbi during my pregnancy and even now while breastfeeding. It is rich in fiber and helps with digestion, just ensure it's not too oily or spicy to prevent acidity.
