Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Unsweetened cocoa powder is safe with precautions during pregnancy when used in home recipes. It delivers notable amounts of non-heme iron, magnesium, zinc, and dietary fiber without added sugars. Keep total daily caffeine in mind because cocoa powder naturally contains modest amounts of caffeine and theobromine. Whisk a tablespoon into hot pasteurized milk with a touch of honey for a mineral-rich beverage.
