MIL brought a big packet of dried apricots and is telling me to eat for iron. Im in my first trimester and bit confused if the dried ones are okay or only fresh fruit. anyone else having apricots?
We had them sometimes, my mother in law said they are good for blood. I just kept it in moderation and checked with my doc since I get acidity. Overall a nice healthy fruit.
Yes apricots are good, they have iron and fibre which helps with the constipation everyone gets. I ate dried ones soaked overnight, easier on the stomach. Just keep the quantity moderate as dried ones are high in sugar.
Loved apricots in my pregnancy, even put them in my oats. Fresh ones in season are so good, and dried ones saved me during late night cravings. Just dont eat the whole packet in one go like I almost did haha.
Apricots are healthy but I had to watch dried fruits because of my sugar levels. Fresh ones were better for me than dried. If your sugar is being monitored just ask your doc how much is okay.
Khubani is very good beta, we always kept soaked apricots in the house. Two three soaked ones in the morning help with the gas problem nicely. But thoda hi khao, zyada nahi.
