Many authoritative sources, including the NHS and Cleveland Clinic, state that nuts, including cashews, are safe and can be a beneficial part of a pregnant mama's diet, as long as you don't have an allergy. Cashews are packed with essential nutrients like protein, healthy fats, iron, magnesium, and folate, which are important for both you and your developing baby.
It's recommended to consume them in moderation, typically around 15-20 unsalted cashews (about 1 ounce or 28-30 grams) per day, to get the benefits without overdoing the calories or sodium. Always opt for plain, unsalted cashews.
Always check with your OB if you have any concerns or specific dietary needs, especially if you have a history of nut allergies.
