IS IT SAFE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN TO EAT PINEAPPLE?

Pregnancy is considered as the most delicate period for an expecting mother and her unborn baby. If you’re pregnant, you need to take extra care while choosing foods that go into your mouth to ensure that you’re achieving all the nutrients needed to carry your baby to term as well as all the vitamins and minerals that your developing baby needs. Perhaps you’ve heard that pineapple during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, but there is no truth to eat. This myth is based on the presence of a compound called bromelain and the logic behind the mistruth is that bromelain breaks down protein and as your newly conceived baby is made up of proteins, consuming the chemical can cause bleeding and miscarriage. However, eating pineapple in reasonable amounts not only is unlikely to cause any problems but also supplies some key nutrients essential during your pregnancy.

Pineapple during early pregnancy
Eating one or two servings of fresh pineapple weekly during your early pregnancy is usually safe. Remember one serving is about one cup of this fresh fruit. Of course, you should always consult your doctor before adding anything to your diet during the delicate period, but according to the book “What to eat when you’re pregnant,” bromelain has a chance to create a problem if you eat between 7 and 10 whole pineapples at one time. If you’re still worried about eating pineapple, opt for canned pineapple or pineapple juice since the process of canning and bottling removes most of, or all, the bromelain in the fruit.

The benefits
Freshly-squeezed pineapple juice supplies vitamin C, a strong antioxidant that strengthens the generation of collagen, which aids in the development of your baby’s skin, bones, tendons and cartilage. When eating fresh pineapple, you can get iron, an essential nutrient for the production of blood as well as folic acid that helps in avoiding certain birth defects.

Adding pineapple to your pregnancy diet

A cup of fresh pineapple alone is a safe, simple and nutritious way to add this fruit to your pregnancy diet. You can also add pineapple to your favorite salad or smoothie. Layer pineapple slices into a grilled chicken sandwich or top a chicken and spinach salad with the fruit.
