Got a craving for strawberries badly this week, but MIL said khatte fruits avoid karo. Im in my second trimester. Is it actually ok to eat ya should I skip?
Oh I felt such a huge craving for strawberries in my first trimester, I literally cried when my husband couldn't find them! When I finally ate them, it was pure bliss. Just wash them really well to remove any dirt.
I was so scared of food infections that I googled every single fruit before eating! Strawberries are safe, but please wash them under running water multiple times because they have tiny seeds where dirt can hide. Better safe than sorry!
My MIL was a bit worried saying it might be too "cold" for the body, but my doctor smiled and said strawberries are excellent. They are packed with Vitamin C and folate, which is so good for baby. I used to make fresh milkshake without too much sugar.
Yes, you can absolutely eat them, they are very safe. Just don't buy those pre-cut ones from local markets. Wash them thoroughly in salt water or vinegar at home before eating to avoid infections.
Strawberries are loaded with antioxidants and folate, which is actually amazing for your baby's development. Just try to buy organic ones if possible, and wash them properly. Enjoy your seasonal fruits without any worry.
Strawberries are totally fine, yaar! Go enjoy them with some fresh cream or in a bowl of curd. Don't stress too much about what to eat, just keep everything in moderation and eat what makes you happy.
Strawberries are actually great because they have good fiber which helps with pregnancy constipation. After my C-section, I was told to eat fruits rich in Vitamin C to help heal my stitches. So starting now is a great idea.
