My MIL adds jeera to almost everything at home and now ive started wondering if so much of it is fine during pregnancy. Im 11 weeks. Just want to know if anyone was told to avoid it or its totally okay.
Yes jeera is safe, its in almost every Indian dish anyway. I drank jeera water both times for acidity, worked nicely. Just regular cooking amounts, no need to overthink it.
Haan beta cumin in your dal sabzi is absolutely fine and even helps with digestion. Jeera water is an old remedy for bloating. Bas ek baat, dont have it in huge amounts thinking more is better, normal is enough.
In food quantity its safe, nothing to worry. If you mean taking it as some concentrated remedy daily, maybe just mention it to ur doctor. But cumin in dal and curries, no issue at all.
Jeera is part of everyday cooking at home so its totally fine in normal cooking amounts. Amma even gave me jeera water for gas and bloating. Just dont take it in big medicinal quantity, normal food use is good.
