Can we eat patra in pregnancy?

Question

My mom made patra at home and it smells so good, i really want some. But colocasia leaves can sometimes cause itching na, so im a little unsure now. Is it safe to have during pregnancy?

Ghar pe bana patra safe hai, bas use ache se cook karna taaki gale me khujli na ho. Bahar se lene ke bajay ghar pe banao toh hygiene ka bhi tension nahi rahega.

I practically survived on fried patra during my monsoon pregnancy! Just make sure it is steamed really well so it doesn't cause throat itching. Happy eating!

Colocasia leaves are healthy but they must be prepared carefully. Please make sure the souring agent like imli is used properly to neutralize any irritants. Take care and eat in moderation.

I am in my 5th month and my mom just made some yesterday! Are you planning to make it at home or buying from outside?

During my second trimester, I felt this intense craving for hot patra made by my MIL. Eating it fresh and warm brought me so much comfort, just ensure it's cooked thoroughly.

Yes, you can definitely eat patra. It is rich in iron, just make sure it's fully cooked and don't overeat fried ones to avoid acidity.

Patra is fine to eat, but it can sometimes cause gas or acidity because of the besan. After my C-section, I was very careful with such heavy foods, so during pregnancy also, eat it in limit.
