Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled pumpkin flowers are safe and nutritious during pregnancy. They provide gentle dietary fiber, vitamin C, folate, and carotenoids to bolster maternal immune health. Boiling or steaming the blossoms ensures all garden soil and insects are removed and neutralizes any foodborne microbes. Stir boiled pumpkin flowers into warm vegetable soups, quesadillas, or risottos for a delicate flavor.
