I baked a cake at home and added tutti frutti, then suddenly got worried if its okay during pregnancy because its kind of artificial na. Im 4 months now. Does anyone know if its safe to have in small amount?
Honestly I craved it on top of cakes and ice cream so bad haha. Had it sometimes, no issue. Its just colourful sugar yaar, enjoy a little but dont go eating handfuls.
Id rather have actual fruit than tutti frutti tbh, more goodness. But a bit in a cake never hurt anyone. If you just have a craving, go for it occasionally.
Its mostly sugar and artificial colour, so I kept it minimal. If you dont have any sugar issue a small amount in baking is ok. Just not something to snack on by the spoon.
Tutti frutti is basically candied papaya peel with sugar and colour, so its not harmful as such but its just empty sugar. A little in a cake or cookie is fine. I wouldnt make it a regular thing though, no real nutrition in it.
