Information
Pregnant women can eat tarama during pregnancy, but it is important to consume it in moderation. Tarama is a mixture of salted fish and olive oil, which is commonly used in Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Although the tarama is rich in protein and vitamins, it contains high levels of sodium and fat, which can present health risks for pregnant women. Pregnant women should not consume more than 12 grams of salt per day, which is the maximum recommended. The tarama contains approximately 1,500 mg of sodium per portion, which is much more than the recommended intake. In addition, tarama is rich in fat, which can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy. Pregnant women who want to consume tarama can do so, but it is important to consume it in moderation. A portion of tarama per week should be enough. Pregnant women should also take care to consume secure original tarama, choosing higher quality products and verifying expiration dates. Finally, pregnant women should avoid consuming large amounts of tarama at a time and always consult their doctor before making a decision.
