Is peanut good during pregnancy?

Question

I love having peanuts as a snack. But I'm wondering, is it considered good and safe to eat peanuts while pregnant?

Chitra Kunder · Answer

Yes dear, my father used to get roasted peanuts for me every evening. It’s a great healthy snack to munch on, just don't overeat them as they can cause acidity.

Yes, peanuts are totally safe and rich in protein and folate unless you have a peanut allergy.

I love eating peanuts but I was so scared that it might cause allergies to the baby. My doctor said it's safe, but did anyone else also have this silly worry in their early months?

Haan, peanuts toh bohot acche hain na! I used to eat roasted peanuts or peanut chikki almost daily, just make sure you aren't allergic.

Peanuts are absolutely fine and packed with protein. I ate them all through my pregnancy and my toddler is perfectly healthy and loves peanut butter now.
