Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Cooked broccoli raab is highly recommended during pregnancy. It supplies generous amounts of folate, iron, calcium, vitamin K, and vitamin C to bolster maternal health and fetal bone growth. Blanching or boiling rapini in salted water removes its sharp bitterness while ensuring any potential surface pathogens are eradicated. Sauté the blanched greens in olive oil with minced garlic, and serve over whole-wheat pasta for an iron-rich dinner.
