Discussing the Consumption of Truffles during Pregnancy
Hi Husks, I would like to know if I can consume truffles while I'm pregnant.
Hello! Truffles are generally considered safe to eat during pregnancy. However, they should be properly cooked to eliminate any potential bacteria. Raw and undercooked truffles are not recommended.
That's good to know. But why are raw truffles not advisable?
Raw or undercooked truffles, like other mushrooms, may contain bacteria and other pathogens that could be harmful to you and your baby. Cooking truffles thoroughly can eliminate these potential risks.
I see. And what are some of the ways I can incorporate truffles in my diet?
Truffles have a unique, intense flavour that works well in a variety of dishes. You can add thinly sliced, cooked truffles to pasta, risotto, or even scrambled eggs. Truffle oil can also be used sparingly to add truffle flavour to your food.
