Is groundnut safe in pregnancy?

Question

Im 4 months now and i really crave roasted groundnuts in evening. My MIL keeps saying it produces heat and not good. Is that true or can i have it daily?

Safe for most, but if you have any history of peanut allergy in the family, just mention it to your gynac once. Otherwise a handful is fine.

Groundnuts are good and we eat them often at home, full of protein. My mom would roast a small handful for me as a snack. Unless you have a peanut allergy, they are safe na, doctor agreed too.

Totally safe and a good cheap protein yaar. I snacked on roasted peanuts all the time. Just dont go crazy with too much salty or fried masala peanuts.
