My mom always told me til is not good in pregnancy, that it can cause heat. But now my friend says it's full of calcium and totally fine. Im so confused yaar. Anyone know what's actually true?
I had til in winter, in laddoos and chikki, in normal food amounts, no problem at all. People say avoid in early months as a precaution. If you're past first trimester a little is fine, but check with ur gynac to be relaxed.
We use til in many dishes at home and I ate normally during my pregnancy. Family said dont overdo it in early days and I listened. A sprinkle here and there is fine, just dont eat handfuls. Ask doctor if unsure na.
Beta, til is something elders traditionally said to avoid early on, especially in big quantity. In small amounts in food it's usually okay, but my advice is ask ur doctor first since everyone's body is different.
I'd just be a little careful and not go overboard with it. I personally kept it minimal in early months and asked my doctor. In regular food it should be okay but better to confirm for your own peace.
There's a lot of myth around til causing heat or harm but in normal cooking quantities its actually nutritious, full of calcium and iron. The fear is mostly about large amounts. Best to just confirm with your doctor for your stage.
