Emily's honest take
Lentils are considered a "power food" during pregnancy, packed with essential nutrients like iron, folate (folic acid), protein, and fiber, all crucial for both your health and your baby's development. They're particularly beneficial for preventing issues like iron deficiency anemia and constipation, which can be common in pregnancy, and the folate helps reduce the risk of certain birth defects.
Always remember to check with your OB or healthcare provider if you have any specific dietary concerns.
