craving all things sour?

it seems like i have more food aversions these days than cravings but i'm just realizing that i'm wanting to eat all things sour!  seems so strange to me bc i'm normally a sweets person.  i made my husband buy me sour punch straws a few weeks ago, last week i had sour skittles out the vending machine at work and i keep eating kiwis.  i guess this is officially my first craving.  so random! 

do you believe that cravings mean your body needs certain nutrients?  what on earth could sour cravings mean?

Re: craving all things sour?

  • My friend that is having her baby on the 4th craved sour stuff the whole pregnancy with her third and final boy.

    I have a craving for pickles and sour patch watermelon candies. I actually ate a whole bag this weekend. I want some bad right now. 

    I am craving more things sour than sweet or salty or any food.

  • Same here - I want sour/salty stuff.  I can't drink water lately without at least half a lemon in it and I'm drinking a new lemonade I found that makes H pucker but I LOVE it.  I was the same with my son - I knew to test b/c I actually thought drinking soy sauce sounded tasty!  I've been eating the sour straw things too and the Mexican Chillito stuff - the salty chili mix to add to fruit and things?  Yep it is HEAVENLY on watermelon and strawberries and I like to let it marinate a little to really get the flavors going - best when cold!

  • i went on a 3-day, 8 store mission last week to find war-heads candy. while i was there, i also bought some cry baby sour gum. yes, i'm also craving sour.


  • I was craving sour for a while and probably will again... I seem to cycle through my cravings repeatedly. My healthiest sour option so far? Granny smith apples. For a while I was eating one or two every day. They're not super sour, but they do the trick and I can feel good about eating them. ;) 
    It's a boy! Born 42 weeks, 2 days.

  • With my DD I craved sweets - Reese's, brownies, etc. 

    This time - sour and salty...and they guessed boy at my NT scan!

    I think it's just that every pg is different but it's funny that they're different.  I guess we'll see at the 20 week u/s if this LO really is a boy!
