Can pregnant women eat daylily?

Generally speaking, pregnant women can eat daylily (also known as golden needle vegetables), as long as consumption is moderate. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Daylily contains abundant dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal motility and help relieve constipation, a common issue during pregnancy. It is also rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and phosphorus. Vitamin A helps fetal vision development, iron helps prevent iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy, and calcium supports the growth of the fetal skeleton and teeth. Moderate consumption has positive effects on both maternal and fetal health.

When consuming daylily, dried daylily should be selected. Before eating, it should be thoroughly soaked in sufficient warm water, with water changed multiple times to remove any potentially remaining harmful substances. It must be fully cooked during preparation to avoid raw or undercooked consumption. Each serving should be moderate, as excessive intake may increase digestive burden. If the pregnant woman herself is allergic to daylily, or has conditions such as spleen and stomach deficiency cold or is prone to diarrhea, daylily should be avoided. When purchasing, products from reputable sources should be selected to ensure quality and safety. If any discomfort occurs after consumption, usage should be stopped immediately and medical advice should be sought promptly.
