Lucky Iron Life
The Lucky Iron Leaf, a reusable iron cooking tool from a Canadian company with Guelph roots
Lucky Iron Life, first known as Lucky Iron Fish, started in 2012 at the University of Guelph in Ontario, and it's a social enterprise and certified B Corporation. Its Lucky Iron Leaf is a small, reusable cooking tool cast from electrolytic iron and shaped like a tulsi leaf. It goes into the pot with your soup, stew or rice water and is designed to add iron to what you're cooking.
To use it, bring about 1 L of water or a liquid-based meal to the boil, add the Leaf and let it cook for 10 minutes. If it's plain water, add half a teaspoon of lemon juice. Lift it out, wash it in soapy water and dry it right away.
One Leaf lasts about five years, or roughly 1,800 uses, so it's a one-time buy for a household. It's vegan.

Questions about Lucky Iron Life
Anything else, ask us in store in Bedford or Dartmouth, or send us a note.
How do you use the Lucky Iron Leaf?
Bring about 1 L (4 cups) of water, soup or another liquid-based meal to the boil, add the Leaf and let it cook for 10 minutes. With plain water, add half a teaspoon of lemon juice. For 2 L, use two Leaves and a teaspoon of lemon. Our Lucky Iron Leaf guide covers what to cook with it and how to keep it rust-free.
What can I cook with the Lucky Iron Leaf?
Anything with plenty of liquid: water for tea, soup, stew, curry, chili or the water for rice. A little acidity, like lemon or tomato, helps, and the Leaf should sit fully under the liquid.
How do I care for my Lucky Iron Leaf?
Wash it in soapy water before and after each use and dry it with a towel right away. Orange marks are surface rust and scrub off. A light coat of food-safe oil once it's dry helps keep it in good shape.
How long does a Lucky Iron Leaf last?
About five years of daily use, or roughly 1,800 uses.
Is the Lucky Iron Leaf the same as the Lucky Iron Fish?
It works the same way. The Leaf is shaped like a tulsi leaf and cast from electrolytic iron, and it comes from the same Canadian company, now called Lucky Iron Life.
Where can I buy the Lucky Iron Leaf in Halifax?
At both Luminate Co stores, with the iron supplements: 486 Starboard Drive in Bedford and 590 Portland Street in Dartmouth. Order online for pickup at either store, same-day delivery across Halifax and most of HRM when you order by 11 am, or shipping anywhere in Canada (free over $80).
