My mom keeps making palak sabzi almost daily now saying it's good for iron. I'm in my 4th month and honestly I dont mind it but is it actually safe to eat this much regularly? Anyone know na?
Yeah, my doctor also said to have palak for iron deficiency. But sometimes I find it a bit bitter. Any tips on how to make it more palatable? Like, can I blend it in a smoothie with fruits?
Oh yes, palak is very good, beta. My mother made sure I ate it regularly when I was staying at ghar pe during my pregnancy. It has lots of iron which is so important for you and the baby. She would make simple palak sabzi or dal palak.
I've heard about palak being really healthy, especially for iron! Is it okay to have it daily, or should it be in moderation? I want to start incorporating all these good foods now itself for when I get pregnant.
Palak is very beneficial, bachha. Hamare zamane se isko khoon badhane ke liye khate hain. Take care to wash it properly, and you can make a nice saag or even add it to your atta for parathas. It's a natural source of iron and vitamins.
Absolutely yaar! Palak is like a superfood for pregnancy. I actually hated it before, but my gynac pushed me to eat it for iron. Made a lot of palak paneer and sometimes just a simple palak soup. It really helps keep your hemoglobin up.
My MIL used to insist on palak for me, saying it's the best for blood. She made palak-dal almost every other day! Sometimes I got bored, but honestly, it kept my iron levels good, so I never complained too much.
Definitely! I ate a lot of palak throughout my pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. It truly helped me avoid severe iron deficiency. Just make sure it's cooked well, and you're good to go!
