My mom keeps adding drumstick in sambar and dal saying its very good for me now. I actually like it but wanted to confirm, is it really beneficial during pregnancy? Im 6 months and trying to eat more iron type foods.
Omg yes! I've been craving piping hot sambar with extra drumsticks every single week. It is super healthy and satisfying, so definitely enjoy it in your meals!
In my 9th month now and literally too tired to chew anything heavy, so boiled drumsticks in soup are my absolute savior. Plus they help with the leg cramps because of all the calcium!
They are generally very healthy, but if you have any history of complications or are on specific medicines, it's always best to ask your gynac once before changing your diet too much.
Yes dear, drumsticks are actually packed with iron and calcium which is amazing for the baby. After my long IVF journey, I was very careful with everything, so I ate them in moderate amounts in my sambar and felt great.
