Hi everyone, I sometimes crave snacks like Kurkure. I was wondering if eating Kurkure is harmful during pregnancy? My elders say to avoid packaged foods.
Beta, these packaged foods have too much maida and chemical masala which is not good for baby's growth. If you crave spicy things, tell your MIL or mother to make some roasted murmura with light spices at home. It is much safer and healthier.
Look, a little bit of Kurkure to satisfy your craving is absolutely fine, we all do it. But don't make it a daily habit because it can cause severe acidity and heartburn, which is already very bad during pregnancy. Drink lots of water if you eat spicy stuff!
We can't eat perfectly healthy 100% of the time, practical life is different. If you want Kurkure, buy the smallest five-rupee pack so you don't overeat. Eat a banana or drink buttermilk afterwards to keep your stomach cool.
Please be a bit careful with processed foods like Kurkure. I had blood pressure fluctuations during my pregnancy, and high sodium snacks are not good for that. If you have any complications or high BP, definitely ask your doctor before eating junk food.
Honestly, I recently delivered my baby boy and I ate Kurkure quite a few times when I had crazy spicy cravings! Just don't eat it everyday because of the high sodium and preservatives. Eating a small packet once in a while is totally fine.
My normal delivery went so smoothly and honestly, I ate my share of spicy snacks like Kurkure too. Just balance it out with good fruits, coconut water, and nutritious food. It is all about balance, don't stress over small cravings!
Omg same here, I am currently in my 5th month and I literally dream about Kurkure every day! I try to restrict myself to just one small packet a week. Are you also getting crazy spicy cravings or is it just me?
Clear words - it has zero nutrition and too much salt, so don't finish whole big family packs. But if you are dying to eat it, have a few pieces and satisfy your tongue. Just don't make it your regular evening snack, okay?
If you want that spicy taste, try making home-made roasted chana with chaat masala instead of eating Kurkure. But if you have eaten it and feel any stomach pain or severe acidity, check with your doctor once. Avoid junk as much as possible.
I had such bad morning sickness that Kurkure was one of the few things that tasted good and didn't make me puke because of the tangy taste! My doctor said a few pieces are fine if it helps with nausea, but try not to overeat it.
My mother used to strictly scold me whenever I touched Kurkure, she would make baked makhana for me instead! But once in a while, she also let me have a small packet when my cravings were too strong. Just eat in limit dear.
Kurkure is not exactly healthy, but having a ten rupee packet occasionally won't do any harm. It's better to avoid buying expensive imported snacks anyway. Keep your diet simple and save that money for regular scans and hospital delivery bills.
Haan na, during pregnancy we crave all the wrong things only! Kurkure is fine to eat sometimes, but be careful because too much spicy can give you bad acidity later. Thoda sa kha lo badme acidity ka tras nahi hona chahiye.
According to most pregnancy trackers, processed snacks are categorized under 'eat in moderation' because of high salt and preservatives. It won't harm the baby directly, but it can lead to water retention and swelling in your feet. Try to track your water intake on the app if you eat it!
