Galette des Rois: Can you eat it during pregnancy?

Epiphany is approaching, and with it, the famous galette des rois (king cake). But is it compatible with your pregnancy? Good news: you can enjoy one, provided you follow a few precautions, particularly regarding the presence of rum in the frangipane.

Why ask the question of rum?

Rum is sometimes used in frangipane to add flavor, but although cooking removes much of it, small traces may remain. It is therefore advisable to choose an alcohol-free galette or check the ingredients before enjoying.
