I get sudden cravings for moongphali in the evenings these days. But i read somewhere about peanut allergy and babies so got a little worried. Is it safe to have during pregnancy? anyone?
Yes unless you have a peanut allergy, then totally avoid. I had moongphali all the time, good protein and the roasted ones helped my evening hunger. Just keep it reasonable, dont eat a whole bowl in one sitting.
Peanuts were my cheap healthy snack through pregnancy, full of protein and easy on the pocket. As long as you arent allergic theyre great. I kept a small jar of roasted ones for hunger pangs.
My doctor said peanuts are actually a good protein source and theres no need to avoid them unless I personally am allergic. The old idea that they cause allergy in baby isnt really backed up anymore. So I ate them freely.
If you have no allergy they are fine and even good. I had them in moderation. Only thing, if you ever react to nuts, skip and check with your doctor first, dont take the risk.
