Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Frozen unprepared okra is safe and nutritious for pregnancy once fully cooked. It retains high concentrations of folate, fiber, and vitamin C comparable to fresh okra pods. CDC reminds consumers that frozen produce is not ready-to-eat and must be cooked thoroughly to eliminate potential Listeria contamination. Boil, steam, or roast frozen okra until piping hot before serving.
