Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw green cabbage is safe and nutritious for pregnant women when washed properly. It provides vitamin C, folate, vitamin K, and dietary fiber that help promote healthy bowel regularity. CDC advises removing the outer loose leaves and washing the cabbage head or sliced ribbons under cold running water to remove potential contaminants. Toss washed shredded cabbage with olive oil and lemon juice for a crunchy, nutrient-dense coleslaw.
