In order to promote the healthy growth and development of the fetus, family members should carefully take care of the pregnant woman's diet and be cautious when choosing ingredients, avoiding foods that are harmful to fetal qi. But most families do not have such experienced personnel, and it is inevitable to neglect the diet of pregnant women. Can we eat raw peanuts during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, it is advisable to eat some raw peanuts in moderation because they have not been processed and can retain more nutritional value, which can provide more nutrients for the fetus. Raw peanuts are usually consumed with a red coat, which has the effect of coagulation and hemostasis, improving the coagulation function of pregnant women and effectively reducing the symptoms of bleeding, which is beneficial for protecting the fetus.
The content of unsaturated fatty acids in raw peanuts is also higher, which is a nutrient beneficial for fetal brain development. Pregnant women who eat some raw peanuts in moderation can bring more unsaturated fatty acids to the fetus. However, if raw peanuts are buried in the soil, there may be parasite eggs on the outer shell. Therefore, pregnant women must clean the outer shell when consuming them to avoid contamination with parasite eggs.
Moreover, peanuts have a high protein nutritional content, and pregnant women should not consume them in large quantities, otherwise it may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and bloating symptoms. If pregnant women have poor gastrointestinal health, it is recommended to boil peanuts before consumption.
