Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw arugula is safe and nutritious during pregnancy when washed thoroughly. Its peppery leaves supply dietary folate, calcium, vitamin K, and vitamin C. CDC advises washing all salad greens under clean running water to remove surface soil and protect against Toxoplasma and Listeria. Toss freshly washed arugula with olive oil, lemon juice, and pumpkin seeds for a vibrant salad.
