My saas made til ke laddoo and gave me one, but then mom called and said til is garam, dont eat in pregnancy. Now im confused. Im in my second trimester. Is it actually a problem ya just an old myth?
Oh my god, I had such bad morning sickness, I couldn't eat anything! But sesame seeds, especially in things like til ke ladoo or chikki, were okay for me in small amounts. Just don't overdo it, like with everything.
Honestly, I barely remember what I ate while pregnant, was too tired thinking about sleep! If you can stomach it and it's not like, a kilo of til, you're probably good. Everything in moderation, right? Now, if only I could sleep.
Look, small amounts of sesame seeds are perfectly fine, even good for you. They have calcium. But don't go eating huge quantities, like a big bowl every day, because that can be a bit much. A little bit in a sabzi or on a roti is no problem.
I used to panic about every single thing I ate, yaar! Sesame seeds are actually quite nutritious in small quantities. My MIL used to give me til ka ladoo and my gynac said it's totally fine. Just don't eat a whole bowl full, obviously.
