Information
Cresson is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals and can be consumed safely during pregnancy. It is rich in vitamins A, C and K, calcium, iron and antioxidants. It also contains fibers and proteins, making it a very nutritious food. However, it is important to be careful not to consume too much watercress. Pregnant women must limit their watercress consumption to approximately three portions per week. Cresson can be consumed raw or cooked, but pregnant women must avoid consuming it raw because it can contain bacteria that can be harmful to health. In conclusion, watercress can be consumed during pregnancy if the recommended doses are respected. However, it is preferable to consume it cooked and not raw in order to limit the risk of infection.
