MIL made raw banana sabzi today and i loved it but then she said kacha kela is not good in pregnancy. Im in 2nd trimester. Is this actually a thing or just gharwali baatein? curious what others know.
Even I was wondering about this because my MIL makes delicious raw banana cutlets! Is it okay to eat them in the first trimester, or should we wait? I'm currently 9 weeks and crave savory things a lot.
It's quite healthy and gives good energy! I used to have boiled raw banana sabzi after my mild evening walks, which my doctor allowed. Just don't deep fry it as chips, keep it simple.
Yes, it is totally fine. I had raw banana stir-fry post my C-section too because it is very easy on the stomach and helps with digestion. Just make sure it is cooked thoroughly and not too spicy.
It is actually very good because raw banana has resistant starch and doesn't spike blood sugar like ripe ones do. I had GD during my pregnancy and my dietitian allowed me to eat it in limit. Just cook it with less oil, haan.
I was so scared to eat raw banana because someone told me it causes heat, but honestly it is totally safe if cooked well. Just wash it nicely and don't eat it raw-raw, cook it like a sabzi thoda. It actually has good potassium which is great for cramps.
My clinical nutritionist at the hospital actually told me raw banana is a great source of fiber and completely safe. Still, I always suggest asking your hospital care team during your next checkup just to be sure about your specific diet.
