Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw garden cress is safe to consume in culinary amounts during pregnancy if washed thoroughly. It offers intense peppery flavor along with vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate. Because water-grown and soil-grown greens can harbor bacteria, CDC recommends washing cress vigorously under clean running water before eating. Use small washed pinches as a garnish on soups, egg salads, or whole-wheat sandwiches.
