Why pregnant mums love to eat Udara

Why pregnant mums crave for  Udara

The very popular Udara or Agbalumo, our local cherry that pregnant mums crave would soon be in the market. Yes, the season is here. Soon you start seeing them around. Don’t be surprised that any pregnant mum reading this would start salivating for it. You don’t blame them for that. Udara usually has this sour-like taste that holds the mouth, hits the palate and stops you from throwing up. A man once complained how his pregnant wife insisted he should look for Udara as late as 10 pm and how he was combing all over the place for it until he got some. Sounds funny, right?

Amazingly medics have asserted that the exotic yellowish and chewable fruit has some health benefits. Below are some health benefits

Vitamins and Minerals: Udara serves as a good source of calcium, each one you chew provides you with 10 percent of the amount you require each day. The calcium strengthens your bones and teeth, and it may also lessen symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, such as cramping and abdominal bloating. This fruit also contains 5 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin C and vitamin A. Additionally, Udara provides  2 percent of iron, a mineral vital for oxygenating your body, which you need every day.

So, pregnant mums, hold your peace, soon you would start having your desired fruit all over the place
