A member asked:

Why is bad to eat maracuya (passion fruit)seeds during pregnancy, i ate a bit what will happen now?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Untrue: This is an urban legend. There is no contraindication to ingesting passion fruit or the seeds during pregnancy. In fact, during your pregnancy is when it is most important to be eating fruits and vegetables.
