Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled summer squash is strongly recommended during pregnancy. It supplies gentle dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and folate with high water content that aids maternal hydration. Boiling squash until tender ensures complete microbial safety and makes it very easy on sensitive digestive tracts. Season boiled summer squash with olive oil, black pepper, and herbs for a soothing dinner side.
