Why are walnuts a must have during pregnancy

Walnuts are a good, vegan source for obtaining your regular dietary requirements of Omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy.

The Centre for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD) considers walnuts safe to eat during pregnancy and also terms it to have the highest amount of Omega-3 among all other nuts. Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid that is crucial for the brain development of your baby. So, the next time you make brownies, make sure to add a cup of walnuts for extra taste, flavour and nutrients.
