While many seeds are nutritious during pregnancy, fennel seeds and coriander seeds (dhania), when consumed in excess, may not be good during pregnancy.
Here's a breakdown:
- Fennel Seeds and Coriander Seeds (Dhania): These spices contain small amounts of phytoestrogens, which mimic the effects of the female hormone estrogen. In large quantities, these can potentially cause uterine contractions, which are generally not desirable during pregnancy.
It is important to note that this refers to excessive consumption. Small amounts used in cooking are generally considered safe. It's always best to consult with your doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice during pregnancy. They can assess your individual needs and provide specific recommendations.
