Information
Eating royal couscous during pregnancy is generally safe, but certain precautions are necessary. Royal couscous is a variety of traditional couscous composed of wheat semolina, chickpeas, raisins, nuts and various spices. Most of the foods contained in royal couscous are considered safe for pregnant women provided they are well cooked and prepared at home. However, it is important to remember that the raisins contained in royal couscous are likely to contain bacteria that can be harmful to the health of pregnant women and her baby. It is therefore important to make sure that the raisins are well cooked before eating them. In addition, it is important to remember that all foods are prepared with fresh and good quality products. Avoid consuming products that are too old or that have been poorly preserved. Perisable foods such as meats or fish should be consumed immediately or kept in the refrigerator. Finally, it is important to remember that royal couscous can contain high quantities of salt and fat, which can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. It is therefore important to consume this dish in moderation and monitor its consumption of salt and fat.
