Information
Yes, you can eat strawberry jam during your pregnancy, provided you check that the jam is based on fresh and not canned strawberries. Strawberries are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which are beneficial for the health of the mother and the baby. Consumption of strawberries in complete safety during pregnancy can help prevent nutritional deficiencies and improve the immune system. However, you should make sure that the strawberry jam is made with fresh fruit and not with canneds, because canneds contain chemicals that can be harmful to the fetus. In addition, you should make sure you don't consume it in too much as it can cause excessive weight gain and complications for the mother and the baby.
