Every nuts entry, with a verdict
Sorted with the ones worth knowing about first. Avoid means skip it entirely; take care means it depends on how it was prepared.
All types of nuts
SafeNuts are great during pregnancy! They are a rich source of vitamins B and E, natural fats, and essential minerals such as phosphorous, potassium, zinc, selenium, and copper. It's a good snack to take with you wherever you go. The best options are peanuts, almonds, cashews, and walnuts. Eat and store your nuts properly. For example, shelled nuts must be stored in airtight containers or in a fridge to ensure they do not go rancid. If you roast nuts, do it without oil and remember, that nuts when toasted taste good, but reduce the nutrient content. Don't overdo it with the nuts. Try to avoid nuts in early pregnancy, as in this case babies are likely to develop allergies.
