I love pista and have been snacking on them a lot lately, second trimester chal raha hai. Saas said too many dry fruits garam hote hai. Is it actually ok to eat or should i cut down?
Pista is my go-to midnight snack right now because I'm too tired to cook anything in this 3rd trimester! It's totally safe and packed with energy. Just make sure they aren't the super salty ones, otherwise swelling will kick in.
Yes, of course you can eat pista, it's very healthy. But eat them unsalted and in moderation, don't finish a whole packet while watching TV. A small handful of mixed dry fruits is enough daily.
Pistas are great for nutrition, but they are so expensive now! I used to buy them in bulk to save some money, since hospital delivery and blood test expenses are already so high. Just eat 4-5 soaked ones daily, no need to overspend.
Pistas are rich in protein, fiber, and good fats, which are great during pregnancy. Just wash them well or lightly roast them at home. As long as you don't have a nut allergy, you can absolutely enjoy them.
Nuts are excellent for baby's brain development. I used to soak a mix of almonds, walnuts, and some pistas overnight. Eating them raw or heavily salted is not a great idea, so stick to plain unsalted ones.
