My mother-in-law keeps telling me to eat a lot of dry fruits during pregnancy for strength. What's the best way to consume them, and how much is considered a good amount to eat daily?
Haan, dry fruits are great but garmi kar sakte hain na if you eat raw. So always soak badam and kishmish overnight. Mere ghar pe to dadi bolti thi subah khali pet khane ko, works best!
Oh those pregnancy days, looking back I feel so emotional. I was always worried about what to eat, but my mom made a mix of roasted makhana and light dry fruits for me. Just eat a small handful daily, your body is doing an amazing job.
Always start your day with a positive mind and thank God for this beautiful journey. Eating soaked almonds and walnuts is very good for the baby's growth. Just take care of your health, eat in moderation, and keep praying.
I totally understand how much you want to do everything perfect for the little one. I used to soak 4-5 almonds and a fig overnight and have them first thing in the morning with milk. It feels so good to know we are nourishing them from day one.
Soaking them is definitely the best way because it is easy on the stomach. I used to eat soaked almonds and walnuts during my pregnancy, and even now while breastfeeding I continue it. Just avoid eating too many hot-nature dry fruits like unsoaked dates in huge quantities during the first trimester.
