Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedFresh avocado is highly recommended during pregnancy as an exceptional source of healthy fats and micronutrients. It supplies folate, potassium, and monounsaturated fatty acids that support fetal brain growth and placental development. The FDA emphasizes washing the outer skin under clean running water before slicing so the knife blade does not transfer surface bacteria into the edible flesh. Spread mashed avocado on whole-grain toast or fold into scrambled eggs.
