They are quite good because they offer protein and folate which are essential now. Just keep an eye on portion sizes and make sure they aren't heavily salted to avoid fluid retention.

My mother-in-law advised eating dry fruits daily during my second trimester. However, do check with your gynecologist first during your routine checkup to ensure it suits your body.

My sister ate so many pistachios when she was pregnant. She said they really helped with her midnight salt cravings and were way healthier than chips.

It is completely normal to overthink everything you eat right now, I was the same way. Unsalted pistachios are perfectly safe and actually very nutritious for you and the baby.

I panicked so much when I accidentally ate a whole bowl of them in my first trimester. But my doctor laughed and said they are actually excellent for copper and iron. You are totally fine!
