Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw beets are safe to consume during pregnancy provided they are thoroughly cleaned and peeled. They deliver concentrated folate, vitamin C, potassium, and prebiotic fiber that promotes regularity. CDC emphasizes scrubbing root vegetables with a stiff produce brush under running water and peeling the outer skin to remove soil-borne Toxoplasma gondii. Grate peeled raw beets finely over fresh salads or coleslaw for a vibrant color and satisfying crunch.
