Is shepu good during pregnancy?

Question

I love using dill leaves, or shepu, in my cooking. But I'm unsure if it's safe to consume them while I'm pregnant. Can I continue to eat shepu sabzi or other dishes with it?

I was very scared of eating leafy greens like shepu, but cooked well in small portions it is safe. Just wash it thoroughly to avoid any infections.

I panicked when someone said shepu is too hot for pregnancy. But I ate it in moderate amounts and it was perfectly fine, so relax.

Shepu is very good for digestion, beta. Eat it cooked nicely with some moong dal, but don't eat too much of it daily.

Actually yaar, it's super healthy and full of iron. Just make sure to wash it properly because of the dirt in leafy veggies.

Honestly, anything that helps with my bloating is welcome right now! Shepu with bhakri is my comfort food these days.

My mother-in-law makes it often and says it is very healthy. I hope to keep eating it when we conceive.

My doctor said dill leaves are rich in vitamins and safe in culinary amounts. Just avoid concentrated dill oil or supplements during pregnancy.
