Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedCanned asparagus is safe and nutritious to eat during pregnancy. The commercial canning process heat-sterilizes the vegetable while preserving useful amounts of folate, iron, and fiber. Check nutrition labels for sodium, and rinse the spears under cold running water to remove excess canning salt. Blend drained spears into warm vegetable soups or stir them into pasta dishes for easy nutrition.
