Its kathal season and im craving it so bad. But my mom said avoid it during pregnancy, no idea why. Is there any truth to this or can i enjoy it? im 4 months.
Jackfruit is okay in normal quantity, it's just a fruit. Dont eat a huge amount at once, it can cause gas and it's a bit sugary. Both pregnancies I had it occasionally with no problem.
Just a gentle heads up, jackfruit especially the ripe one is quite sweet. I had gestational diabetes so I had to be careful with such fruits. If your sugar levels are fine then a small portion should be okay, but do keep it limited.
Okay I was craving jackfruit chips so badly haha. The fresh fruit in small amounts is fine, the fried chips just dont go overboard. Everything in limit and you're good.
Beta in moderation it's fine, we always had it in season. Just dont eat it late at night or in big quantity, bhaari padta hai. And if you feel bloated after, give it a break.
We eat a lot of chakka at home and I had it during pregnancy in small amounts, ripe ones. It's fine in moderation. My elders just said dont eat too much as it can feel heavy. Ask your doctor if you have any sugar issue though.
