I love mushroom sabzi and used to eat it often, but now in pregnancy my MIL says avoid it. Im in 2nd trimester and totally confused if its safe or not. Anyone eating mushrooms during pregnancy?
Cooked mushrooms are absolutely fine and packed with nutrients. Just avoid wild mushrooms or any raw salads containing them. Stick to store-bought, fresh ones and cook them thoroughly.
I was a huge mushroom lover but when I got pregnant, I felt so paranoid about food poisoning. But once I cooked them nicely at home, I felt so happy and satisfied. They are completely safe if cooked well!
Yes, cooked mushrooms are very healthy and rich in vitamin D. Just make sure they are washed thoroughly and cooked well, never eat them raw. If you ever feel stomach pain or vomiting after eating them, contact your doctor immediately.
Beta, eating fresh mushrooms in normal food like parathas is very good for health and digestion. But don't eat too much of wild ones or eat them from raw salads. Keep it moderate, hygienic, and cooked well.
Of course you can eat them! Just make sure they are cooked, we don't want any magic mushroom adventures during pregnancy! Jokes apart, wash them nicely and enjoy your mushroom tandoori.
