Pregnancy guidance

Limit

French fried sweet potatoes with added salt are safe in moderation, but should be limited during pregnancy. Although they retain beta-carotene from sweet potatoes, deep-frying significantly increases saturated fat, calories, and sodium. USDA dietary patterns advise minimizing commercially fried foods to support maternal cardiovascular health and weight management. Satisfy sweet potato cravings by roasting homemade wedges in the oven with olive oil and spices instead.
