Can pregnant women eat tiramisu?

Tiramisu is a cake introduced from the West, mainly made of flour, eggs, cream, cocoa powder, chocolate, sugar, etc. However, for pregnant women, they can eat cakes but in moderation. No matter whether the food is too sweet or too light, they should eat in moderation. In their daily diet, they should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat light flavors. For pregnant women with low progesterone levels, they can eat a little more cake, take in some sugar and replenish energy.

We all know that girls should pay more attention to nutrition after they become pregnant. And because there is already a baby in the belly, elders usually recommend that pregnant girls eat more, but eating more does not mean eating everything. "Women's immunity will decline during pregnancy, which means they are more vulnerable to bacteria and more difficult to treat than normal people if they encounter infection. Therefore, any food that is contaminated with bacteria or parasites is high risk for pregnant women! For example, high-risk listeria and toxoplasma parasites, as well as E. coli, Campylobacter and Salmonella, etc. Caibaobao focuses on bringing you a list of foods that girls should try not to eat during pregnancy. Please keep it. Maybe you have seen similar ones before, but this one must be the latest and most complete.

Most pregnant women know that they should not eat raw meat (medium-rare steak, etc.) and raw fish (salmon) during pregnancy, but there are some less obvious foods that they don’t know about. Mingcai Baby lists them one by one:

1. Unsterilized fruit or vegetable juice

We all know that fresh fruit and vegetable juices are very popular, but pregnant women are also cautious, especially some pregnant girls who believe that these fresh fruit and vegetable juices can just supplement the vitamins they need and make them healthier! What they don't realize is that some fruit juices, such as orange juice, have not been sterilized at high temperatures, and there is a possibility of cross-infection during the rapid slicing and juicing process. Therefore, Caibaobao strongly recommends that pregnant women refuse all freshly squeezed fruit juices. If they really want to eat, they can eat peeled fruits such as various watermelon juices, sugarcane juices, etc.

2. Smoked salmon

Many pregnant women know not to eat sushi when they are pregnant, but they overlook smoked salmon. Smoked salmon is actually technically cooked salmon through a curing process. For example, the high temperature used to make cold-smoked salmon is not high enough to kill certain parasites and bacteria that may cross the placenta and harm the fetus. It is recommended that pregnant women who want to eat fish keep the temperature at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit during the cooking process!

3. Ceviche

Similar to lox, ceviche is technically cooked using a cold curing method where the fish is marinated in acidic lime juice. “Ceviche is surprising to many people because it has the appearance of being cooked and the proteins become denatured like in grilled or fried fish, but there is no heat in the cooking process so no bacteria are killed!

4. Queso Mural

Most pregnant women know to avoid cheeses made from unpasteurized or raw milk, such as Brie or Camembert. However, they may not know this and therefore omit queso fresco or cotija cheese—present in many Mexican dishes, it has a similar appearance and texture to feta and is often sprinkled in front of corn, on eel (corn on the cob), or served with sesame seeds.

Queso fresco is typically made with unpasteurized milk and not heated, so it can contain foodborne bacteria such as listeria, which is not always harmful to the mother but may harm the fetus, especially in the first or second trimester. Caibaobao’s friendly reminder: Try not to eat it, it’s not too late to eat it after you give birth!

5. Alfalfa sprouts

While vegetables are an important part of any healthy diet, if you are pregnant, raw alfalfa or bean sprouts should be excluded. Many people have learned that these small sprouts can cause outbreaks of foodborne illness because they are easily contaminated with salmonella and E. coli. If you are not pregnant, there is nothing wrong with eating raw peanuts, but it is best not to eat them when you have a developing baby in your belly. The baby also thinks that the taste is so-so. I believe it is not difficult not to eat it.
