Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Raw serrano peppers are safe during pregnancy if washed properly, though their sharp heat warrants moderation. They supply vitamin C and vitamin A to nourish the immune system. CDC recommends washing whole peppers under cold running water before cutting to prevent transferring surface contaminants to the flesh. Add tiny minced portions to fresh salsa, but moderate your consumption if you experience gastrointestinal irritation or reflux.
