Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw green bell peppers are safe and wholesome during pregnancy when prepared properly. They deliver excellent vitamin C, folate, and dietary fiber with zero fat and high water content. CDC advises washing peppers under running water, removing stems and internal seeds, to protect against surface soil contaminants. Slice washed peppers into crisp sticks for dipping in hummus, or dice into fresh lunch salads.
