Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled beets are strongly recommended during pregnancy. They deliver natural folate, potassium, dietary fiber, and inorganic nitrates that help support healthy blood pressure regulation. Boil whole unpeeled beets until a knife slides through the center effortlessly, then slide off the skins under cool water. Slice boiled beets into salads with pasteurized goat cheese and walnuts for a nutrient-rich lunch.
