Founder's Note

From Mohit, founder of Chau Foods

Hi, I am Mohit from Chau Foods. When my sister was expecting, the whole family kept pushing more and more badam on her. Her doctor's advice was simple: a small handful a day is plenty. That is the advice I would pass on too, along with checking with your own doctor.

A Quick Note First

Every pregnancy is different. This guide covers general food information. Your doctor or dietitian knows your health, weight gain and any allergies, so check with them before changing your diet.

Fibreabout 3.7 gabout 2 g
Notable nutrientsVitamin E, magnesium, calciumPlant omega-3 (ALA), about 2.7 g

Values from USDA FoodData Central.

  • Protein and healthy fats help you feel full between meals.
  • Fibre helps with constipation, which is common in pregnancy.
  • Walnut omega-3 is the plant form (ALA). It does not replace the DHA your doctor may suggest, but it adds to a healthy fat intake.

How Many a Day

Many dietitians suggest a small handful of nuts a day in total, roughly 20 to 30 g. For example:

  • 5 to 7 almonds in the morning, and
  • 2 to 3 walnut halves later in the day.

Nuts are high in calories, so more is not better, especially if you are watching weight gain.

Soaked or Raw?

Both are fine. Soaked almonds are softer and easier to chew, and many people find them easier on the stomach. Soak them overnight and peel if you like. Walnuts can be eaten as they are or soaked for a few hours.

  • Nut allergy: if you or your family have a history of nut allergy, ask your doctor first.
  • Gestational diabetes: nuts are low in sugar, but keep portions in check and follow your diet plan.
  • Heartburn: eat nuts earlier in the day rather than at bedtime if they bother you.

Good Ways to Eat Them

  • Soaked almonds with a glass of milk in the morning.
  • Chopped walnuts on poha, upma, curd or oats.
  • A small bowl of almonds and walnuts as an evening snack.
