Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Corn tamales are safe with precautions during pregnancy when steamed thoroughly and served hot. They supply complex carbohydrates, fiber, and small amounts of B vitamins from ground corn masa. Ensure tamales are served steaming hot to guard against temperature abuse during street or restaurant holding. Top with fresh tomato salsa for extra vitamin C.
