Pregnancy guidance

Avoid

Raw eggplant should be avoided during pregnancy. Raw eggplant contains solanine, a natural alkaloid that can cause gastrointestinal distress, nausea, and cramping when eaten uncooked. In addition, unwashed raw eggplant skin may carry agricultural soil pathogens. Always cook eggplant completely by boiling, baking, or sautéing until tender before consumption.
