Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw iceberg lettuce is safe and hydrating during pregnancy if prepared properly. While lower in micronutrients than dark greens, it supplies crisp hydration, folate, and vitamin K that are gentle on an upset stomach. CDC recommends discarding damaged outer leaves and rinsing the head under running water before cutting. Use washed iceberg wedges topped with pasteurized dressing as an appetizing, crunchy side.
