I made baingan bharta yesterday and my mom warned me not to eat brinjal during these months. Im in my second trimester. Is there any truth to this or just an old saying? Anyone avoided it?
Haan log bolte hai baingan avoid karo but actually normal sabzi mein koi issue nahi na. Maine khaya tha thoda thoda. Bas properly pakaake khao aur roz roz zyada mat lo, ho jayega.
Well cooked brinjal in normal food amounts is fine, I ate baingan bharta and curries throughout. The whole avoid brinjal thing is mostly an old belief about very large quantities. Just eat it cooked and in moderation, no raw.
Beta our elders used to say avoid baingan in pregnancy, but that was about eating it in big amounts daily. A normal sabzi now and then is okay. Just cook it well and dont overeat, then no problem.
There is a traditional caution around brinjal but in regular cooked portions its generally considered fine. Eat it properly cooked and in moderation. If you have any specific dietary restriction from your doctor, just follow that.
