Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Candied fruit should be limited during pregnancy due to its high refined sugar content. The candying process replaces natural fruit moisture with concentrated sugar syrups, stripping away most vitamins while adding empty calories. The USDA encourages pregnant women to replace candied confections with fresh or unsweetened dried fruits. Reserve candied peel or fruit for occasional festive treats rather than regular snacking.
