Is pista good during pregnancy?

Question

I love pista and have been snacking on it a lot lately. Just want to be sure its actually fine in pregnancy and how much is ok in a day. Anyone?

Madhu Kadam · Answer

Haan na, pista is very good! It has good fats and proteins. Just don't eat too many salted ones, plain unsalted ones are the best during this time.

My mother-in-law told me that eating pistachios helps with strength, but I still confirmed with my doctor who said a small handful of unsalted ones is perfectly safe and healthy. You can definitely include them in your diet.

Yes dear, pistachios are very safe and healthy. They have protein and fiber which help with pregnancy constipation too. Just eat a moderate amount daily and you are good to go.

Pistas are great for protein and copper during pregnancy. Just stick to 4-5 unsalted ones a day. No need to overcomplicate dry fruits, just eat them in moderation.

Haan, definitely you can eat pista, but limit the quantity na. A small handful daily is great for energy and keeps those sudden hunger pangs away.

Honestly, pista was my favorite midnight snack when I couldn't sleep! Just make sure to buy the unsalted ones, otherwise you will end up drinking gallons of water and running to the loo even more!
