Durain, popularly known as the ‘king of fruits’ in south east Asia, is a highly nutritious fruit. Its rich nutrient profile includes Vitamin C, iron, potassium, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, protein, and calcium. These nutrients are essential for prenatal nutrition and lactation. However, you should have durian in moderation as durians are high in fat, sugar, and carbohydrate content. So, if you have gestational diabetes or a family history of diabetes, then avoid having the fruit.
