Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Dark rye flour is safe with precautions during pregnancy and must be thoroughly baked before eating. It supplies abundant dietary fiber to support digestion, along with zinc, potassium, and vitamin B6. Avoid consuming raw bread dough, as unbaked flour can carry harmful bacterial contaminants. Use this robust flour to bake dense, fiber-rich rye breads or hearty crackers.
