My mom made drumstick leaves sabzi and said its full of iron, very good for pregnancy. But then i read somewhere online thoda confusing stuff about moringa. Now im not sure if i should eat it or skip, anyone knows?
Yes, moringa leaves are excellent for hemoglobin, but don't overdo it. Have it once or twice a week in dal. And strictly avoid moringa bark or roots, only eat the leaves.
Moringa leaves are actually super cheap and packed with iron, great way to save on extra supplement costs! Just wash them nicely and cook them well to avoid any stomach bugs.
My nutritionist at Max healthcare suggested adding moringa to soups for iron. But she told me to clean it thoroughly. Do ask your own gynecologist if it suits your diet chart.
I was very cautious during my IVF journey and ate only cooked foods. Moringa leaves are highly nutritious, but please cook them thoroughly and eat in small portions.
