Im craving grapes so badly these days but my MIL said avoid karo during pregnancy, dont know why. Im in first trimester. Is there actually any harm or is it just one of those old beliefs? anyone ate them safely?
Grapes are perfectly fine to eat, but just wash them in warm water or baking soda first to get rid of all the white chemical residue. No need to buy expensive exotic fruits, grapes are great.
I completely understand why you are asking, I also got so anxious reading online that grapes are "unsafe" because of some compounds! Honestly, my gynac said a small bowl of washed grapes is totally fine and safe.
Grapes are healthy and give good hydration, but just keep the portion size in check. Don't eat too many at once because of the high sugar content, especially in the third trimester.
