Information
If you are pregnant and you wonder if you can eat vinaigrette, the answer is yes. The vinaigrette is a combination of vinegar and olive oil, two safe and healthy foods during pregnancy. Vinegar contains antioxidants and vitamins, and olive oil provides essential fatty acids and nutrients. Although the vinaigrette is a safe food, you should avoid prefeated varieties because they can contain conservatives and additives that are not sure during pregnancy. Homemade dressings are better for you because you control what is added. In addition, you should be careful with the quantities you eat. Vinegigettes are very rich in calories and fats, so you should make sure you eat moderate quantities. You should also avoid using white wine vinegar because it can contain high levels of sulfites which are harmful to the fetus. In conclusion, the vinaigrette is safe during pregnancy provided that you eat homemade varieties and that you limit the quantities. It is important to check the ingredients and make sure you don't use white wine vinegar.
