My MIL keeps saying avoid onion and garlic during pregnancy, says it creates heat in body. But almost every sabzi at home has onion na, cant really skip it. Is there any truth to this or just an old belief?
Onion is totally fine, it's normal food yaar. I ate it through both pregnancies, cooked in everything. Just make sure it's washed properly if eating raw in salad.
Beta onion is fine, we have always cooked with it. Just dont eat too much raw onion if it gives you gas or acidity, which is common in pregnancy. Otherwise no problem at all.
Onion is safe, no issue. I just watched my portions of everything because of sugar but onion was never a concern. Cooked or raw both ok as long as it's clean.
