Im 6 months along and ghar pe everyone cooks tinda often. I usually like it but suddenly confused if its fine during pregnancy. Is it safe yaar or should i avoid?
I completely understand how we double-check every single vegetable during pregnancy, I was the same! Please don't stress, tinda is completely safe and very healthy. It actually helps in keeping you hydrated.
Tinda or apple gourd is totally fine to eat. It has good fiber which helps with the common pregnancy issue of constipation. Just wash it thoroughly before peeling and cooking to avoid any dirt or infections.
Oh, I remember eating lots of tinda and ghiya during my pregnancy because of acidity! My toddler is super healthy now. It's a great summer vegetable, so go ahead and have it without any worries.
Actually, tinda is excellent because it has a high water content and is very low in carbs. It won't spike your blood sugar levels at all. Just make sure you cook it with less oil and normal spices.
