Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Baked winter squash is exceptionally nutritious and highly recommended during pregnancy. It provides abundant beta-carotene, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamin C to support fetal organ development and maternal energy. Baking winter squash until steaming hot and caramelized softens its dense flesh and ensures complete microbiological safety. Scoop warm baked squash flesh from the skin and season with cinnamon or olive oil.
