I love putting elaichi in my tea and kheer but someone told me to avoid it now that im pregnant. First trimester here. Is it actually fine in normal amounts or should i cut it out?
Yes elaichi in tea or sweets is completely fine dear, I had it all through. My mother said the smell helps when you feel like vomiting. Just normal cooking amounts, nothing in excess.
A little elaichi is good for digestion and freshens the mouth, beta. We always used it for the nausea feeling. Just dont eat too many pods at once, keep it small.
