Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw summer squash is safe and hydrating during pregnancy if washed with proper care. It provides vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber that support healthy fluid balance and bowel regularity. CDC recommends washing the outer skin under running water and using a clean produce brush before cutting to dislodge potential surface bacteria. Slice washed summer squash into thin rounds for dipping in pasteurized hummus or tzatziki.
