Yes, guava is amazing during pregnancy! It has so much vitamin C and helps with constipation. Just wash it really well and enjoy with a little pinch of black salt! 😋

My mom always gave me sliced guavas in the afternoon. She used to peel the skin and remove the hard seeds so it wouldn't cause any digestion issues. It's a very healthy snack for the baby.

I was so worried about pesticides on guavas, so I used to soak them in warm water and vinegar before peeling them. They are super healthy, but please make sure they are fully washed and ripe to avoid any stomach upsets.
