Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Young green onion tops are safe to consume during pregnancy if handled with good food hygiene. They provide vitamin K, vitamin A, and antioxidants that enhance the nutritional profile of meals. CDC guidelines advise rinsing the hollow green stalks thoroughly under running tap water to flush out any hidden garden dirt. Snip washed green onion tops over hot baked potatoes, scrambled pasteurized eggs, or vegetable dishes.
