General Objective: To evaluate the level of knowledge about the consumption of fruits and vegetables in pregnant women treated at the Defensores de la Patria Health Center in 2021. Material and Method: The study was descriptive, with a quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental approach. A survey was used as an instrument, which was made up of 20 closed, single-option questions. The sample consisted of 60 pregnant women who are treated at the Defensores de la Patria-Ventanilla Health Center, Lima 2021. Results: Regarding the level of knowledge of the pregnant women surveyed about the consumption of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy, it was observed that only 21.67% of pregnant women (n=13) obtained a high level of knowledge, 70% of pregnant women ( n=42) obtained a medium level of knowledge and 8.33% of pregnant women (n=5) obtained a low level of knowledge. However, the majority of pregnant women surveyed are unaware of aspects such as the main functions in the body and the benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables during pregnancy. Conclusion: The level of knowledge about the consumption of fruits and vegetables in the pregnant women who are treated at the Defensores de la Patria Health Center in 2021, have a medium level of knowledge with 70% of the pregnant women surveyed. The questions that are most associated with erroneous answers in the respondents are those related to knowledge about the functions and benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables during pregnancy.
