Salmon roe has been part of my life since I was 4 years old! I remember trying it for the first time at a sushi restaurant where they call it “Ikura”. It was salty heaven and I didn’t mind that is was fish eggs and would continue to ask for it 😂

It wasn’t until years later than I realized salmon roe was an absolute superfood. I remember Dr Rhonda Patrick talking about how good it is for pregnant women to eat salmon roe because of how nutrient dense it is. Specifically, the DHA folic acid found in salmon roe is extremely important for a fetus’ brain development. You can’t find that level of DHA in anything else with the same level of absorption.

My relationship has continued with salmon roe. I now try to eat 4-6 oz per week to get the nutrients it contains which include Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Omega 3s, DHA folic acid, thiamine and selenium. Since it is a superfood for brain development, it has been recommended for women to eat salmon roe while they are pregnant and to try to introduce to your kids at a young age!

Anyone else love salmon roe? 🤍
