Pregnancy guidance

Safe with precautions

Restaurant refried beans are safe with precautions during pregnancy when served piping hot. They supply plant protein, soluble fiber, folate, and potassium to aid maternal digestion and fetal spinal development. Verify that beans are kept steaming hot rather than lingering in lukewarm buffet warmers. Choose varieties prepared with vegetable oil rather than animal lard when possible.
