Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsRaw unpeeled cucumber is safe and wholesome for pregnant women when washed properly. Retaining the dark peel provides extra dietary fiber, vitamin K, and antioxidants to support regularity and bone health. CDC recommends scrubbing cucumbers with a clean produce brush under running water to eliminate surface wax and microbes before slicing. Toss washed cucumber slices with tomatoes, olive oil, and pasteurized feta cheese for a crisp Mediterranean salad.
