Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Canned pure pumpkin is safe, highly nutritious, and recommended during pregnancy. It provides concentrated beta-carotene, dietary fiber, iron, and potassium to promote maternal regularity and fetal vision development. High-heat commercial canning ensures absolute sterility, but make sure to select pure pumpkin puree rather than sweetened pie filling. Stir canned pumpkin into morning oatmeal, smoothies, or whole-wheat pancake batter.
