I really love mushroom sabzi but my mom keeps saying avoid it during these months. Im in my first trimester and confused now. Is it actually fine to eat or better to skip? anyone been eating it through pregnancy?
Yes, regular cooked mushrooms (button, the ones from the store) are fine. Just make sure they're properly cleaned and fully cooked, no raw ones. I had them in sabzi and soup throughout, no issue.
Oh I lived on mushroom soup in my second trimester, total comfort food. Cooked well it's perfectly fine. Just stick to the normal edible kind from the market, no wild or exotic types and no raw in salad.
Cooked store-bought mushrooms are considered safe in pregnancy. The thing to avoid is raw or any unknown wild variety. If you have any allergy history, just confirm with your doctor, otherwise enjoy them cooked.
