Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Home-prepared hummus is safe and nutritious during pregnancy when made with strict food hygiene. It provides plant protein, folate, and healthy fats from chickpeas and sesame tahini, supporting maternal tissue development. The FDA and CDC recommend refrigerating freshly made hummus below 40°F in an airtight container and eating it within two days. Dip fresh washed vegetable sticks like carrots and bell peppers into chilled hummus for a fiber-rich snack.
