Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw agar seaweed is safe in small culinary amounts during pregnancy if thoroughly cleaned and rehydrated. It offers soluble fiber and trace minerals with virtually no calories. Rinse the seaweed under cold running water to remove sea salt and surface debris before soaking. Use modest rehydrated amounts in cold salads, while maintaining moderation regarding seaweed intake.
