Pregnancy guidance

Limit

Apricot jam should be limited during pregnancy because of its high added sugar density. Cooked apricots contribute small amounts of vitamin A carotenoids and potassium, but added sweeteners comprise the bulk of each spoonful. The USDA recommends limiting added sugars to promote optimal maternal metabolic wellness. Use modest amounts as a light glaze rather than a heavy spread.
