Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw broccoli raab is safe to eat in pregnancy when thoroughly cleaned, though its bitter flavor is quite intense. It provides high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, and calcium for prenatal wellness. CDC guidelines instruct washing all raw greens under cold running water to eliminate soil bacteria and parasites before consumption. Chop washed rapini leaves finely into raw salads with rich dressings, or consider light cooking for enhanced palatability.
