Expectant mothers are known to crave certain kinds of food during their pregnancy. Hormonal changes going on inside the mother's body causes these weird cravings. Sometimes, their preferred combinations are really gross to the point that it won't even appeal to a person with a normal appetite. Celebrity mothers are not immune to this! Take Beyonce for example, who admitted to having loved ketchup so much during her pregnancy. She kept a bottle of ketchup on hand because she preferred to put it in everything she ate. And this year, everyone is interested to find out what could Behati Prinsloo crave for during her recently announced pregnancy.
Queen Bey is not the only one who went through this phase. Mila Kunis or Mrs Ashon Kutcher also had her fair share of weird pregnancy cravings. According to reports, she preferred to eat "Sauerkraut" or a type of pickled cabbage. Pickled Planet said this shredded cabbage is fermented for 4-6 weeks! With the help of vinegar and salt, the magic happens. "Three phases of microbial activity produce lactic acid and improve vitamin content while converting sugars in the cabbage. The enzymes break the cabbage down into smaller, more digestible molecules and the lactic acid kills unwanted organisms. The term "lacto-ferment" comes from the lactic acid-secreting bacteria present in a batch". It might look appetizing to expectant moms but for sure, it doesn't smell very nice.
Other celebrity mommies who happened to indulge in weird pregnancy cravings have Natalie Portman who developed a fondness for vinegar, Angelina Jolie who craved for onion rings and Kate Middleton who loved Indian food during her pregnancy.
Experts explained that weird pregnancy cravings are linked to nutritional deficiencies. It is the body's way of telling moms-to-be that they need a certain amount of a specific nutrient. For example, those who crave for salty foods are in need of sodium in their diet.
As per Mrs. Adam Levine and supermodel Behati Prinsloo, it's too early to tell. Now everyone is wondering, what could she be craving? Fans will have to wait awhile longer to find out.
