We use khus khus a lot in our cooking at home and i had a curry with it yesterday. Then suddenly got worried whether poppy seeds are okay during pregnancy or not. Is it safe to have in normal food amounts?
I had it in regular food now and then, no issue. As part of meals its okay, just not in excess. If you plan to take it as a remedy in big quantity, better ask your doctor first.
My mother adds a little poppy seed paste in gravies and I ate it normally. In cooking amounts its fine. My gynac never objected, just keep it moderate like any seed.
Beta khus khus in small amounts in cooking is fine, we use it in curries and kheer. It can help with sleep too they say. Just dont have huge quantities, and check with doctor if unsure.
