My grandmother made ponnagani keerai and im usually fond of it. But now that im pregnant im double checking everything before eating. Is it safe to have during pregnancy? anyone from down south had it?
Yes in moderation its fine, ponnaganni keerai is a good green and my paati used to cook it. Just wash it very well, cook it properly and dont eat it raw or in huge amounts daily. If u have any doubt, a quick word with ur doctor settles it.
I think its generally safe in moderation, but I'm always a bit careful suggesting specific foods since everyone's body reacts differently. If u eat it occasionally and well cooked it should be ok, but a quick check with ur gynac never hurts.
It's a healthy keerai, I ate keerai varieties through pregnancy. Key is clean it thoroughly, these leafy greens trap a lot of mud and worms. Cook well, eat in normal amounts, no problem.
