Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedCorn tortillas are strongly recommended as a wholesome staple grain during pregnancy. Made from whole corn masa, they supply natural dietary fiber, zinc, and vitamin B6 with low sodium and no added sugars. The USDA Dietary Guidelines encourage making whole corn products a regular component of a balanced prenatal diet. Warm two corn tortillas on a dry skillet and fill them with thoroughly cooked black beans, salsa, and pasteurized queso fresco.
