Mummy made shalgam sabzi today and i really enjoyed it, but then i wondered if its actually fine in pregnancy. Im 5 months along. Koi batayega kya turnip safe hai regularly ya not?
It's totally safe, unless your baby decides they hate the taste of turnips from inside! Enjoy your shalgam sabzi or soup without any guilt, it's great for health.
I felt so confused when my MIL made shalgam ki sabzi, but when I took the first bite, I felt so happy because it tasted amazing and was so light on my stomach. It is absolutely healthy and packed with nutrients.
Yes dear, shalgam is very rich in calcium, folate, and Vitamin C, which is great for baby's growth. Just wash it thoroughly before peeling and cooking to avoid any dirt.
Shalgam is actually great because it has a low glycemic index and is high in fiber, which is perfect for keeping blood sugar in check. Just cook it with very little oil and spices.
Oh, I panicked so much when I had turnip initially, thinking it might be too hot or heavy for the baby! But then my doc laughed and said it's just a root vegetable, completely safe and healthy.
