So for the first time in forever (hey Frozen pun!), well, actually in like 18 years, I decided to try some dried apricots. Now, when I tried them as I kid, I was not that pleased and hated them. But growing up and becoming a vegetarian I've learned to love a lot of things that I wouldn't normally like otherwise (examples; warm vegetables, lentils, eggplant, mushrooms and so on). Being a vegetarian can be quite hard, espeically since most of the iron and B12 needed comes from meat. So I've had quite some problems with my iron over the 6 years of being a veggie and have had to take a medicine called Duroferon which is a prescribed iron supplement. Lacking iron in my blood has caused me to suffer from anemia (decreased amount of red blood cells) and it makes me extra tired. (Will you believe I pretty much slept through the whole day yesterday!) But anyway, more about my vegetarianism another time. However, since I slept so much yesterday I got a bit worried how fatigue I was feeling, and considering I'm on my month, I thought it might be cause of my lack of iron. So I decided to get some foods today that will help me with my iron and just general health. One of these things is dried apricots... I actually didn't know this, but they can contain between 9%-35% of your daily recommended intake of iron! I was so blown away by this that I just had to buy a package of dried apricots and give them a second chance now that I'm more open minded. So I gave one a try and I still didn't quite like it. BUT I didn't hate it either, I think I just need to get used to the taste. And funny enough, after eating my first apricot, I just had to have another one, haha! So I guess it's quite addictive, which I'm glad about. I hope my new relationship with these apricots will be a joyful one.
