Had nungu both pregnancies in summer, no issue. Just eat fresh, avoid the cut roadside ones that have been sitting out for hygiene reasons.

It is fine but it does have natural sugar, so if your sugar levels are being watched keep the portion small. I checked with my doc on fruits since I had GD.

If you mean ice apple (nungu/tadgola), yes it is lovely in summer and very cooling. We eat it at home a lot, just in moderation and wash well.
