Getting told by carnists that you need meat for iron when pre-veganism I was anemic and now I'm not ¯_(ツ)_/¯
What do you eat that's high in iron?
Not that poster. I also had the same change.
from memory vit C enhances absorption while calcium competes. So not having excessive calcium with many meals probably helps a lot with uptake, plus basically every vegan meal has stupid amounts of vitamin C.
I eat a lot of lentils, beans, and oats. I think they're all pretty reasonable on iron content.
Sesame seeds, soya, and figs are also pretty high in iron.
Money bags over here with the figs haha
Yeah lol the price is a joke, I buy them maybe once a month but they are good for iron.
Can't eat steak if you're too poor to afford meat in general 🧠
