If you have been on TikTok over the last few weeks then you have probably heard about The Lucky Iron Fish. Designed by Lucky Iron Life, this B Corporation has set out to assist people in their battle against iron deficiency. They started by researching amenia in Cambodia, and designed the Lucky Iron Fish as an easy solution to this issue.
So what is it?
The Lucky Iron Fish is a cooking tool that boosts the quantity of iron in your everyday cooking. It is made from a food-grade electrolytic iron powder, all FDA certified don’t worry and is designed to release a consistent amount of iron each time it is used.
How do I use it?
It is quite simple really, just boil the fish with 1 litre of water and a few drops of lemon juice. You can then use this water in soups, broths or porridge!
When the Iron Fish comes into contact with the boiling water and the acidity of the lemon juice, it releases microscopic iron particles into the liquid. Don’t worry, it doesn’t change the taste!
Make sure to wash the Fish after use with some soap and water.
Why should I use it?
Not only does the Iron Fish last for 5 years, but it can provide more than 50% of the daily iron requirement! Iron deficiencies are very often undiagnosed, and this works as a relatively easy and sustainable method to get your daily intake. Remember to use it at least 3 times a week to be optimally effective.
