Is taro safe during pregnancy?

Question

I made arbi sabzi yesterday out of habit and then suddenly got worried after eating. Im in my second trimester. Is taro fine to keep eating or should i avoid it?

Rukmini Sehgal · Answer

We make arbi often and I ate it well cooked during pregnancy. My mom said cook it properly so it doesnt cause acidity. In normal amounts it was fine for me.

I used to overthink every vegetable honestly. For taro I just made sure it was fully cooked and had small portions. If your tummy handles it fine, no need to worry too much.

Cooked taro is fine, just dont eat too much at once.

Arbi is fine if its cooked well, some people get gas from it though. I had it but not too often. Cook it thoroughly and you should be okay.
