Great info, good to remember that Vitamin C increases iron absorption! I'd like to add that coffee and tea inhibit iron absorption. Years ago I was turned away from donating blood a few times due to low iron, but when I stopped having green tea with my cereal in the morning and instead added strawberries to that cereal, my iron levels really improved. Now I don't have coffee or tea within 15-20 minutes of meals.

[@erikalee8058]

Thank you so much with giving us some recipes of food that are high in iron. I have been struggling for years with Iron Deficiency & these recipes are truly going to help me. Thank you! Thank you!! 💜

[@LifesMagicalJourney]

I appreciate this so much! I don't eat much food at all. I'm balancing my want of gaining weight with wanting to be healrhy. I find that it's easy to go for unhealthy options so this really helps!

[@Pal3sa]

I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia years before I was vegan so this is good to see. It always helps to get more options. I'm on supplements already but every little bit helps.

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Great! And of course these meals are great regardless of their iron content. So many other health benefits

[@sarahbargholz8450]

​@@SweetPotatoSoulCould one be vegan and get enough protein every day without soy and all form of soy because of allergi for soy

[@DH-uw3us]

@@sarahbargholz8450 Yes. There are a lot of soy free protein sources for vegans.

[@calisongbird]

Have Vitamin C with your iron foods for better absorption

[@lisaw8619]

This video was so inspiring! I'm vegan, and I thought I needed fortified breakfast cereal to get enough iron, but after watching your video I put my typical day of eating into Cronometer, and I'm doing way better than I thought. Need to eat more lentils though!

[@askmamalouise7605]

This video is so on point! Thank you for creating such relatable content! I have to subscribe for sure!

[@jania159]

Wow! This video is beautiful! So informative and creative! My little tip is to take one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses either daily as a supplement or when you feel low on iron. It doesn't taste great but is really rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium!

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@crystaltorres7313]

Thank you

[@shannonduarte1257]

Yes, I like using molasses as a sweetener on my oats every day!

[@kated5159]

Tried the teff porridge. It was very good! It has a great texture and taste. I ate it before a bike ride and it gave me a lot of energy. 😃

[@evilbunnyzombie]

Loved the tips. Been thinking of trying teft

[@fuzzles93]

Just a note for anyone out there who does experience low iron it might just be your body not able to absorb it affectingly so even if you did make sure all the things you were eating are great and not taking iron with calcium but instead with vit c and not having caffeine within 1 hour of iron foods you still might need a supplement and there is NOTHING wrong with that. Its not a clear cut way to get iron because it depends on if your body is working well to absorb it or not

[@calisongbird]

*effectively

[@oliviablanchard8179]

I really needed this video! Thank you.

[@PhinaLuv]

Here after my blood work and it was low! This was very helpful!

[@richyakuoko2360]

Thanks so much for this video. I have low iron and have sickle cell. Keep up the great work.

[@steph0D]

Thank you for this content, very helpful :)

[@violetsleigh3882]

Thanks for this video, it’s reassuring to me as a fellow long term vegan that has some nutrition anxiety. Would you consider doing one of these videos for choline?

[@marshameadows6000]

Thanks for being real 😊

[@michelewest6240]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@reibierobster7549]

This vid was very helpful and informative

[@sevensepias]

love this channel so much! and this is very helpful for a pregnant vegan lady!

[@thebowandbullet]

If you eat a varied WFPB diet, it's really easy to get enough iron and other nutrients.

[@ViCT0RiA6]

1000% agreed, i just had bloodwork done and was surprised to see how well im doing with these nutrients that meat eaters always tout to be impossible for vegans to achieve, and i dont take supplements

[@calisongbird]

@@ViCT0RiA6it’s actually harder for vegans to get enough “absorbable” iron. It’s not how much you eat - it’s how much your body absorbs. Heme iron from meat is better absorbed than non-heme iron from plant foods. This is why many (not all) vegans need to supplement. Testing for iron levels is key. Just because you personally don’t have this issue doesn’t mean it’s not a common one.

[@ViCT0RiA6]

@calisongbird original comment discusses how varied plant based healthy diet can provide majority of these essential nutrients, the evidence is shown even in this video with exact measurements. Also people with iron absorption issues have issues absorbing it from both plant and animal based foods.... the properties that make heme iron 'more digestible' are fractional improvements in its bioavailability especially in these individuals, just an FYI.

[@morelscb]

If you add raw cocoa powder when your adding your flax and stuff. It's like cocoa wheats

[@cheesenutpea]

Great video!

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Thanks for watching!!

[@VanDeSese]

Hi :) You did the upload 2x. Great video! Thanks a lot!

[@dolcemaddalena]

I've been vegan for over 28 years. The only thing I am deficient in is iron. I've had iron deficiency anaemia before I was vegan and that is the only supplement I take ( vit D3 too as I live in Canada). Protein was very easy to incorporate but no matter how much iron I consume it was never enough without supplementation. I'm hoping when that beautiful moon cycle women are cursed with goes away that I will not need the supplementation 😂 I eat Kasha which is Eastern European and high in iron or I also eat baby cereal as it is even higher and I consume it for breakfast that one week every month... 😆. There is a legume that is higher in iron than lentils. The French use it in their signature cassoulet dishes. Not sure if it is easy to find in the States. I live in Quebec and you can find it here easily but they are the most expensive legumes. One tiny bag is well over 20$. It is imported from France.

[@YodiJohsonna]

Have u tried Blackstrap molasses with lemon daily?

[@dolcemaddalena]

@@YodiJohsonna No actually. I do use molasses and at times crave ginger molasses cookies for a sweet treat and I use it sometimes as a substitute for maple syrup. I know molasses is high in iron too. Do you mix it with hot water and lemon? How much do you put it for each glass?

[@YodiJohsonna]

@dolcemaddalena yes! It's said to be a great way to raise iron levels! You just take 8-16oz of warm water and 1 tbsp of black strap molasses and then add the juice of half or 1 lemon...mix and drink. You can do this up to 2x per day. The lemon helps boost the uptake of the iron in the molasses so it's something you want to add each time.

[@molekamalumaleumuleaenonhi6149]

Just eat meat

[@michelewest6240]

What is the name of the legume?

[@yiyiskblue8]

New subscriber here. Love your content.

[@ronm6585]

Thank you.

[@j-n-y]

1 cup of oats DOES NOT contain 13mg of iron. It contains 3.4mg. Just look at Cronometer!

[@patinazir8673]

I think the same

[@daw7773]

It depends on the AMOUNT and type of Oats a person eat during a meal. For example 100 grams of Quaker Quick Oats contains 19.8 mg of iron.

[@doreenmcdonald3611]

Love teft porridge, but I need to learn to make it in the instant pot

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

That recipe is linked below! So much easier

[@sharondaugherty8092]

This is just what I’ve been looking for! What are your thoughts on turmeric blocking iron absorption? I drink golden milk and use it in my food for joint pain but I’m wondering if I should eliminate it.

[@GrayWithMe]

I take a lot of turmeric and have no problem with this. Just recently had iron and iron stores checked. Always check with your doctor tho

[@iamshauntianichole2485]

Thanks for this video, what’s the name of the lip product you have on it looks good on you!

[@patinazir8673]

If u mixing iron with calcium won't absorb, only with vit c foods

[@munajedski]

Was this reuploaded? 😊

[@sunnygirl5467]

Commenting again since you reuploaded, but you are a ray of sunshine and I really liked this type of video☺️ maybe do one for calcium?🥰🫶

[@GrayWithMe]

Can you do a video on foods to help me with my fast food addiction 😂

[@Coconut.88.28]

Hello how long have you been vegan ?

[@EddyWealthyGaurdian]

Your so beautiful. What you talk about is a conpliment. Good work, your videos are informative.

[@bigrollingpin]

Ooh, could you make a video on calcium next?

[@rockymountainprincess9078]

How do you get adequate protein without tofu (can't eat soy) or tempe (no gluten). Thanks for sharing!

[@emeliamoore9467]

lentils, any beans, quinoa, nuts, peanut butter, clean protein powders, hemp seeds (I put 2 tablespoons in my chia pudding in the morning with flax and peanut butter). I will make a pot of lentils and quinoa every week and I know I have a quick meal with high protein and iron. I've been vegan since 2003, over 20 years. I have low iron, but had that before going vegan. I take floravital iron tablets from Germany and they don't cause any side effects.

[@gribouillestay7337]

Sunflower seed has a lot of protein too 😇 (you have to eat a lot tho 😣)

[@anapaulamartins1127]

Hi beautiful soul I love your vegan channel. I was hoping you could give some good suggestions for a good plant based culinary school? Preference online program , please if you know any things about share with I am considering become a vegan professional chef :) thanks

[@danaqueen8761]

What brand of brown rice do you us?

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

The big bag sold at Costco, mostly.

[@sheenavarghese4769]

Can you have soy if you have Hashimoto?

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Speak to your doctor about that one 😉

[@aleeshahennaahmed2531]

How do we get iodine 🥺🥺

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

Iodozed sea salt and seaweed. There are small amounts of iodine in many foods, as it is in the soil (though amounts vary). The iodized sea salt is easiest and most reliable when you don’t eat a lot of sea veggies

[@shadowlita]

Wow! Seeing this video in my feed today is no coincidence but God's perfect timing. After a multitude of symptoms I was suffering w/that I couldn't explain (and thanks to the r/anemic thread) got some bloodwork done in March & found out my ferritin was at a whopping 8. I just completed my last weekly infusions a wk ago and really don't want to have to have anymore in future. As a vegan female who gets a cycle every month, this video is a blessing!

[@GinettesAButterfly]

I average around 22 mg of iron on my vegan diet according to my fitness pal

[@haydehabdolahian7691]

You vegan people should check your sugar ( A1C) often because eating too much carbs and sugar , you can become diabetic. I was diabetic and after 2 years vegan I almost died because i couldn’t eat too much carbs or sugary fruit to get my proteins and iron and lots other things , toke me 6 months low low carb highs protein ( real protein animal) to get my blood taste almost normal 🤷🏼‍♀️if you don’t add black pepper to your turmeric it won’t digest in your body , research it if you don’t believe me 🤷🏼‍♀️we Persian and probably all Asian grown up using turmeric and know this 😏

[@ranestorypictures1738]

If you have heavy periods, this won’t cut it.

[@Padel78]

Than the person should increase the iron intake

[@annidymarie6243]

Cod liver Oil is good for Iron you add a tablespoon in a smoothie. Great for Iron.

[@catherinebarwick304]

Actually cod liver oil contains 0 mg of iron and is obviously not vegan 🤢

[@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535]

You won’t need iron in a few years when you go through menopause

[@TH-xe6jp]

My mom & aunt both already have gone through menopause and 60+ y.o needed iron infusions

[@crystaltorres7313]

My iron is low still and I went through menopause

[@natashalapierre4109]

With all my respect, your eating habits and recipes are not amazing. The recipes, not good! But I know that one day you will be able to create awsome recipes. But for now, it's a no, no.
