Information

If you are a future mother and you wonder if you can consume coulis during your pregnancy, the answer is yes! However, it is important that the coulis you consume is homemade and not bought commercially. Indeed, commercially purchased coulis may contain preservatives and additives that are not recommended for pregnant women. When preparing your homemade coulis, be sure to cook all the ingredients at the appropriate temperature to eliminate any risk of bacterial contamination. In addition, make sure that all the food products used for the preparation of the coulis are fresh and not expired. Finally, consume your fresh coulis and consume it within two days to avoid any bacterial contamination. Remember that excessive coulis consumption can cause bloating, nausea and abdominal cramps, especially in pregnant women. Therefore, eat the coulis in moderation and in small quantities.
