Pregnancy guidance
Safe with precautionsRaw onions are safe for expectant mothers when peeled and washed properly. They provide quercetin, vitamin C, and dietary fiber that support maternal immune function and regularity. CDC recommends removing dry papery outer skins and rinsing onions under running tap water to prevent transferring soil bacteria into the bulb. Add thin slices of raw red onion to salads or sandwiches, though reduce intake if you experience heartburn.
