My MIL got some breadfruit from the market and wants to make a sabzi out of it. Im in my second trimester and just little unsure whether its fine to eat ya not. Anyone had it during pregnancy?
Beta, breadfruit is fine if cooked properly at home, but don't eat too much of it as it can be heavy to digest. In our times we used to eat local fresh sabzis more during these months. If you feel any bloating after eating it, drink a little warm water with ajwain.
I had cooked breadfruit a few times when I was pregnant because my mom made it. It tasted fine and didn't cause any issues, but I made sure it was fully cooked and not too spicy. Just listen to your body and don't eat too much of it, start with a small piece first.
Actually, I avoided it during my pregnancy because I had thyroid issues and had to be very strict with my diet and regular doctor checks. For any new food like breadfruit, it's always better to consult your doctor during your routine checkup. They can guide you based on your monthly reports.
God has created so many beautiful fruits, and breadfruit is also quite healthy. You can eat a small portion if it's cooked cleanly at home, just keep your mind positive and happy. Take care of yourself, dear.
I am actually trying to conceive right now and reading up a lot on these foods. Cooked breadfruit is generally safe from what I know, but I think it's better to eat very little. I'm also being very careful about everything these days, keeping fingers crossed.
