Hazelnuts can be a good addition to your pregnancy diet if you are not allergic to them. They contain vital nutrients like folate, which is essential for your baby’s development during the early stages of pregnancy. Folate also helps in preventing spina-bifida, a neural tube defect that occurs due to its deficiency. According to a report published by Australian almonds, pregnant women should aim for 400 micrograms of folate every day and hazelnuts could be a good way to fulfill this requirement.
