There are 2 different types of iron - heme iron, which we get only from animal foods and is extremely bioavailable, and non-heme iron, which is in plant foods and there is also some in animal foods. We absorb it at about 1/3 the rate of heme iron, so I think what you're doing is great, which I'm sure you know:D Just thought I'd confirm

What's ceviche?Cairidh wrote:Chin Chin there are lots of ceviche recipes - wouldn't that help you?
You could use garlic, onion, herbs, ginger etc as munchfood.
And chillies, lemon juice, tomatoes are already allowed.
There are so many different ceviche recipes, you'd never get through them all!
Plus you could use raw apple cider vinegar and olive oil as a dressing for your sashimi...or ceviche....
and make a fish salad with tomatoes, peppers, courgette, avocado, grated butternut squash
can you afford to buy any new equipment - a nut milk maker would be a godsend and also a saladacco that makes courgette look like spaghetti......
then you could make spaghetti and pour a pasta sauce over it (mine has garlic, herbs and salt in it, so its munchfood but the other ingredients are all Wai)
Do you eat courgette raw? Where do you get a saladacco? That sounds nice. I grate cucumber and courgette in salads. A nut milk maker would imply that I already have raw nuts. But I haven't figured out how to get them.
Ceviche is raw fish marinated in lime or lemon juice - the acids "cooks" the fish, but without heat, so it doesn't create any nasties. It looks and so it looks and tastes like cooked fish, but is ok to eat on the Wai diet.
"No, ceviche is not raw seafood. Let me explain using the example of fish, which consists mostly of protein fibers that resemble coiled springs. When heat is applied, starting at about 130 degrees F., the bonds holding these fibers in place begin to relax–that is called denaturing–and then the protein fibers straighten out and link together (coagulation). The fish is thus cooked. However, this process can be caused by more that just heat. Air drying, a very old culinary practice, has the same effect, and so does acidity. So the citric acid in limes, lemons, grapefruit, and oranges has precisely the same effect on the protein in fish and other seafood that heat does."
Ceviche is never just fish and citrus juice, there are always other things added - most common are chillies, tomatoes, peppers (all fruits so Wai), onions, garlic, herbs (munchfood), olive oil. But there are endless variations.
Orange juice is used sometimes.

My supermarket sells raw unsalted ones as well as salted roasted ones (sometimes if my mum buys them for me, she'll get the salted roasted ones by mistake, but apart from that I have no trouble getting hold of raw.)
As for the dying....I've never heard of that....mine are a sort of beige colour...my dog loves them. She steals them.

I ate a reasonable hot pepper the other day and I broke out badly the next day 
Also tried bell peppers a few days after and my skin has still hasn't been great. Not sure if it was just the hot pepper or the bell pepper that didn't agree with me either.
Would be nice to get clarification but it is just a fruit so I don't see the problem so long as we don't eat the seeds?
