Information

If you are pregnant, it is important to consume healthy and nutritious foods for your baby's well-being and health. Quail eggs are an excellent source of protein, vitamins and minerals and can be consumed during pregnancy. Quail eggs can provide iron, folic acid, zinc, selenium, phosphorus and other essential nutrients. However, it is important to note that raw or little baked eggs may have a higher risk of salmonella infections. Therefore, it is recommended to cook the quail eggs well before consuming them, in order to reduce the risk of contamination. In addition, you should check that the eggs are free from cracks and dirt and do not consume eggs that have remained at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Finally, if you are allergic to eggs, you should avoid consuming them during pregnancy.
