Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw green peas are safe to eat during pregnancy if shelled and handled with clean hygiene. They deliver sweet flavor along with vitamin C, folate, and dietary fiber. CDC produce guidelines recommend washing the outer pea pods under running water before shelling so that hands do not transfer soil pathogens to the sweet inner peas. Toss freshly shelled raw peas into washed salads for a pop of sweet texture.
