Information

The Catalan sauce molds and the Escabèche are delicious dishes that can be very appreciated during pregnancy. However, it should be kept in mind that mussels and fish are foods that can potentially contain parasites or bacteria that could be harmful to the baby. Therefore, it is important to ensure that they are fresh and well cooked before consuming them, especially during pregnancy. The Catalan sauce is generally made from tomato, garlic, onion and pepper, and it is generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, the Escabèche generally contains vinegar, salt and pepper, and it is recommended to limit its consumption during pregnancy, as it can cause electrolytic imbalances. In conclusion, if you decide to eat mussels in Catalan sauce or escabèche during pregnancy, make sure that the molds are fresh and well cooked and that you do not eat too much Escabèche.
