Question
Can pregnant women eat quail eggs? I’ve heard that quail eggs have a lot of parasites. Is that true?
Answer
Pregnant women can eat quail eggs, but they should avoid consuming them raw or undercooked to prevent the ingestion of parasites. While quail eggs may be more susceptible to parasites than chicken eggs, they can be made safe to eat by fully cooking them to kill any parasites and bacteria. It is recommended that pregnant women consume quail eggs in moderation and pay attention to the cooking level of the eggs.
