Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedBoiled asparagus is highly recommended during pregnancy. It is packed with natural folate, which ACOG highlights for neural tube development, along with vitamin K and prebiotic fiber. Boil or steam trimmed spears for three to five minutes until tender-crisp to protect heat-sensitive vitamins. Serve spears warm with a drizzle of olive oil or toss them into a pasteurized egg frittata.
