Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Baked potato skins are safe and nutritious during pregnancy when cleaned thoroughly and free of green discoloration. They concentrate dietary fiber, iron, and potassium that support digestive and cardiovascular health. CDC recommends scrubbing potatoes vigorously under running water, and FDA warns to discard any skins showing green spots, which indicate toxic solanine accumulation. Bake clean skins until crisp and top with melted pasteurized cheese and broccoli florets.
