Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw broccoli is safe and wholesome during pregnancy when prepared properly. It offers exceptional vitamin C, folate, potassium, and dietary fiber to aid immune defense and regularity. CDC recommends separating florets and rinsing them thoroughly under running water to dislodge lingering soil particles and microbes. Dip clean florets into pasteurized Greek yogurt ranch dip, or lightly steam them if raw cruciferous vegetables cause digestive gas.
