With my PCOS history, I had to focus a lot on eating low-glycemic, iron-rich foods, and gongura was a great option. It is safe, but since our digestion can be sensitive, eat it in moderate quantities and ensure it is fully cooked.
We are planning to conceive soon and my mother-in-law often cooks gongura pappu. She says leafy greens are very good for iron and folic acid. Just wash them well to keep it safe and hygienic.
During my IVF journey, I was very careful about raw veggies and greens. Gongura is completely safe and nutritious, but please ensure it is cooked thoroughly at home rather than eating it outside, just to avoid any stomach infections.
Beta, gongura is very good for health as it has lots of iron which prevents anemia. But it is a bit sour and can cause acidity if eaten in excess, so cook it with mild spices and wash it multiple times to clean any mud.
Yes, it is totally safe and super yummy! 🍃 Gongura pickle or dal is great for beating taste fatigue during pregnancy. Just wash them really well and enjoy! 😋
Yes, gongura is safe and a quick way to get your iron intake. Since working moms have less time, I used to buy pre-washed leaves or prep them on weekends, but make sure to cook them well. Don't eat too much if you have acidity issues.
