Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw beet greens are safe during pregnancy when handled with rigorous hygiene. They provide abundant vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, and calcium for maternal and fetal wellness. Because beet greens grow directly at the soil line, CDC advises rinsing each leaf individually under cool running water to eliminate Toxoplasma and Listeria. Chop washed young leaves finely and mix them with tender salad greens, or blend into morning smoothies.
