I love kachcha pyaaz with my meals, like in salad and all. Someone told me to avoid raw stuff now that im pregnant and im not sure why. Is raw onion ok or should i stick to cooked only?
I think raw onion is fine to eat, but I am trying to conceive and avoid too much raw food just to be safe. Maybe washing it very well is a good option.
Yaar, raw onion is perfectly fine to eat! Don't stress too much about these small things. Just enjoy your food, but wash it well to avoid stomach bugs.
I am always extra cautious with raw vegetables because of my past loss. If you want to eat raw onion, please wash it extremely well or lightly sauté it to kill any germs, just to be safe.
My mother-in-law always says raw onion increases body heat, so she used to ask me to soak it in water first. It actually helps in cutting down the strong smell and acidity too.
I was so scared to eat raw onion in salads thinking it might have bacteria! But my doctor told me it's totally safe as long as you wash it thoroughly under running water.
I ate raw onions in my daily salads throughout my pregnancy and had no issues. Just keep some mints handy because pregnancy makes your sense of smell very sharp!
Oh I loved having raw onions with my lemon and salt on top of hot biryani! It is completely safe, just be prepared for some mild acidity later if you eat too much.
Raw onion is good for immunity, but it can cause severe heartburn in some. If you get bad acidity, try drinking cold milk. For any severe vomiting, do check with your doctor.
