Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw spring onions and scallions are safe and beneficial during pregnancy with thorough washing. They provide dietary folate, vitamin K, and vitamin C to bolster maternal health. Because scallions grow in close contact with damp soil, CDC advises trimming the roots and washing the green hollow stems individually under cold running water to eliminate trapped bacteria. Chop clean scallions to garnish cooked soups, brown rice, or frittatas.
