Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedBaked potatoes with skin are highly recommended for expectant mothers. Eating the skin provides substantial dietary fiber, potassium, and iron to help prevent pregnancy constipation and support blood volume. CDC emphasizes scrubbing the potato skin with a clean produce brush under running water to remove all soil bacteria prior to baking. Bake until completely tender and enjoy with a light drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.
