What are the benefits of having gooseberries during pregnancy

Gooseberries are the perfect choice for satisfying pregnancy cravings for sour foods. The berry is loaded with Vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin C is essential for both the pregnant mother and the unborn baby. It is necessary for the body to make collagen, a structural protein, that’s a component of cartilage, bones, tendons and skin. Additonally, it also helps in boosting immunity during pregnancy. Hence, gooseberries can be a good addition to your pregnancy diet.
