My mother-in-law keeps telling me to eat mustard leaves, saying they are very good. I'm pregnant and a bit confused. Is it actually safe and beneficial to eat mustard leaves during pregnancy?
My MIL made sure I had sarson ka saag with makki ki roti in winters! She said it gives a lot of strength, but she always added a pinch of hing to help with any gas or bloating.
I had lots of mustard leaves during my pregnancy and it really helped with my iron levels. Just make sure to cook them thoroughly at home instead of eating outside.
Mustard leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, plus calcium. Just don't overdo the ghee and butter on top, and eat it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Yes, sarson is actually packed with iron and folate, which is great for pregnancy. Just make sure it is thoroughly washed and well-cooked, especially if you are in a rush and making it quickly.
