My mom made suran sabzi and I suddenly remembered hearing it can cause throat itching for some. Im 5 months along now. Is it safe to eat during pregnancy or better to skip?
Yes, elephant foot yam is safe and packed with good nutrients. I used to have suran ki sabzi occasionally. Just don't eat it raw or undercooked, and always buy it from a fresh market.
Haan, suran is perfectly fine and actually very good for preventing constipation because of its high fiber. Just wash it thoroughly to remove mud and cook it properly with some lemon or tamarind so it doesn't itch your throat.
Actually, suran (elephant foot yam) is actually very nutritious and safe to eat. I was extremely careful with everything during my IVF journey, and my dietitian said it's great for digestion. Just ensure it is boiled and cooked very well to avoid any throat itching.
My tracking app listed elephant foot yam as a safe veggie during pregnancy. It's high in zinc, potassium, and fiber which is great for baby's development. Just make sure it is cooked completely.
Suran is very healthy, but prepping it can take some time because of the cleaning. If you are busy, you can boil it over the weekend, make a quick stir-fry, and it keeps you full for longer. Just avoid eating it if it's not cooked well.
This is a great budget-friendly vegetable that is very good for pregnant women. Just boil it with a little tamarind water first, then make your normal dry sabzi. It helps with stomach cleaning and keeps your body cool.
