Pregnancy guidance

Recommended

Boiled red sweet bell peppers are strongly recommended throughout pregnancy. They are exceptionally rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, folate, and potassium to aid maternal iron absorption and fetal organ development. Cooking red peppers makes their carotenoids more bioavailable while ensuring absolute food safety. Puree boiled red peppers into a silky pasta sauce or fold them into warm brown rice dishes.
