Can i eat green capsicum during pregnancy?

I love adding capsicum in almost everything but my MIL said avoid it during pregnancy. Im in my 5th month. Is there any actual issue with it or just a random saying?

I was so scared of infections that I avoided raw salads entirely. If you eat capsicum, make sure it is cooked really well, just to be safe!

Yes, absolutely. Green capsicum is highly nutritious, packed with Vitamin C and fiber. Just wash it thoroughly before cooking to avoid any bacteria.

It's safe to eat, but if you get bad acidity from it, ask your gynac. Always wash veggies well before cooking.
