Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw carrots are safe and wholesome during pregnancy when prepared properly. They deliver beta-carotene, vitamin C, and fiber, satisfying crunchy cravings while stabilizing blood sugar. CDC emphasizes scrubbing carrots with a produce brush under running tap water and peeling the outer layer to eliminate soil-dwelling Toxoplasma. Cut peeled carrots into sticks to enjoy with hummus, guacamole, or pasteurized tzatziki.
