I have been vegan for seven years. Last year, I went to give blood and was turned down because my iron levels were a bit too high! When I was a meat eater, I was turned down for the opposite. Greens made the difference. 💜

I couldn't help but notice, as an iron-deficient woman, that when you made reference to rdi throughout the video, you only mentioned the rdi for men, despite mentioning at the start that women have higher rdi and are more likely to have iron deficiency. It seemed odd to default to talking about the half of the population that don't need the info as much!

For me pumpkin seeds and dark chocolate would be in the A category. I love adding a generous sprinkle of pumpkin seeds onto my pancakes along with nut butter, berries, coconut yogurt and of course maple syrip. My daughter loves chocolate chips in her pancakes. Just a couple in each one and she is thrilled. Homemade treats like nut butter cups are a great way to get more dark chocolate or dates stuffed with nutbutter (almond 😉or peanut) and drizzled with melted chocolate. I also add hemp seeds to my cashews to soak when making sauces or dressing. Thank you for makimg these videos and sharing all this information. Do the almonds have to be whole or does almond butter count? Oh! I just remembered a favorite snack. Carrot sticks dipped in almond butter. Don't knock it til you've tried it. 😂

Hey, Derek! Thanks so much for making this :D One thing to ponder re: tahini is whether it's made from hulled seeds or non-hulled seeds? Hulled seed tahini is way less bitter and more palatable, but also less nutritious. Then again, people probably aren't going to be eating gallons of it, so I don't know how much difference that makes, in the end. I discovered this discrepancy when I was researching non-dairy food sources of calcium, BTW. Sesame seeds are normally listed as being a good source of calcium, but I had to dig a little deeper and it turns out that they are not really, without those bitter hulls. Blessings!

Great finisher! Showing a simple vegan meal that gives you 100% of your iron needs! That is a slam dunk I can use for when people start pecking at me about my iron levels, just after I have batted away the protein question and followed up by asking THEM if they are getting enough vitamins and minerals in their diet. Hahahahahahahahaha! Canadian supermarkets look amazing in terms of variety, although expensive for sure. I live in Spain so hard to get a lot of stuff at ordinary small town supermarkets. To get kale, for instance I have to travel to find a French-owned hypermarket like Carrefour. I guess I need to start growing my own. I really have no excuses. Thanks Derek as ever for all your hard work. Your videos keep us all sane as we navigate daily through a horribly carnivorous world.

You're dead-on about macro- and micronutrients in plant-based eating coming down to having a varied diet and making sure you eat enough. I've had many friends and coworkers throughout the years with this or that deficiency as vegetarians or vegans because they'd have an unhealthy relationship to food or otherwise have very restricted eating habits and portion sizes without concrete fitness or athletic performance goals. Food is what literally keeps you alive, folks, we have to eat! Might as well make your meals something you enjoy.

Yes, I spread my food throughout the day and never deny myself of anything. I don’t count my protein grams and don’t have to because I know that eating what I do provides, on average, all of the protein I need. If I start lifting weights, I add a daily smoothie using vegan organic “Garden of Life Meal” to a glass of Ripple or Forager plant based milk. Just those two ingredients provides an additional 28 grams of protein & micronutrients. All of this has become second nature, including my eating one each of every organic fruit or vegetable that I have in the house first each day. I also casually intermittently fast for a day here or there and the science all says this is amazing for you longterm. I grow my own organic greens at home using an inside 6-level Farmstand with glow rings and I’m about to add a second for more daily greens. I’m planning to put in potted organic fruit trees and covered raised beds of vegetables as soon as I move back to California. I hope people think about growing more of their own organic vegan food at home. It’s the best way to go for infinite reasons.

Great review. I also remembered reading apricots, especially dried Turkish apricots, were a good source of iron. So I looked it up. 2.8mg/100g. Not bad. Great snack. Actually part of the almond family too. FYI Don often cuts his tongue eating foods that are too dry. So we pour boiling water on almonds, let them sit a bit, then pop the skins off. Easier to chew bc softer and less bitter without skins. ~ Tracy

we add parsley to our smoothies (not the Italian flat leaf but the curly parsley). Every single day we have a smoothie bowl and the way we do it is to add handfuls packed down (in our Vitamix) of leafy greens: most often it's kale but we also use spinach, parsley, carrot tops, beet tops, etc. -- even Romaine if it's in danger of not being used. So that's just in our morning smoothie bowls. And those are just the leafy greens but sometimes I also add a handful of pumpkin seeds maybe once a week to our smoothies. We also add other vegetables from time to time such as zucchini, carrot, beet, etc. And yes, we actually DO add fruit to our smoothies. 😃

The absorption of iron from cooked spinach is good! People just mix it up with the calcium absorption, which is poor.

Thanks of this video! Helps a lot! I just wonder ... here in finland, I rarely find hemp seeds (or like the hemp hearts you eat) but you can find a lot of flax seeds. 5.7mg of iron in 100gr. Also a decent source of iron! :)

In my practice, I have seen good results of Lohasava along with Planet Ayurveda’s Punarnava Mandoor, Chandraprabha Vati, Arogyavardhini Vati and Wheat Grass Powder.

1/2 cup of Grape Nuts cereal has 16.2 mg of iron. I usually try to either eat an orange or put one in my green smoothie. Also as usual, great video!!
