Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Fresh raw lime juice is safe during pregnancy when prepared hygienically at home. It offers vitamin C, potassium, and citric acid, which can stimulate saliva and reduce first-trimester nausea. The FDA recommends washing the entire fruit under running water before slicing with a knife. Squeeze fresh lime over grilled fish or bean dishes to boost plant iron absorption.
