As a vegan woman of menstruating age who struggles to absorb non-heme iron (the kind found in plants) despite careful supplementation, I can say I wholeheartedly endorse Kat’s recommendation. I’ve also heard that mussel farming may have positive impacts on ocean ecosystems, but I haven’t looked into it deeply—if anyone has good sources on that, please feel free to share :)
