#sulfites

[ayamari-no-goshi]

I told a coworker recently I can’t safely eat grapes and most things made from them due to my sulfite allergy. Which sucks, because I used to love red grapes.

This fucker then proceeded to describe to me, in detail, about how he used to regularly drive by the vineyards a certain major company uses for their products and occasionally stop and steal grapes. He also included what they taste like.

And I’m like, “why would you do that to me after I just told you I can’t have them? Now I’m going to be craving grape, again.”

*weird side note on the sulfite allergy. Grapes naturally absorb sulfites from the ground making them a big thing to avoid. Raisins are weirdly usually safe in small amounts due to their processing, but they’re not, in my opinion, adequate substitutions.

What is the Expectation of Calling a Wine Organic; Especially on Its Packaging?

When I mention the “O” word “Organic” there seems to be some contention around it. And even when I have talked about “sustainable” and “biodynamic” it seems that so many people have their own ideas on each of these subjects.But I cannot imagine a world where each of these items (organic, sustainable, and biodynamic) were not being implemented in wine production today by some producers today.So…

Hi, I have a question about potatoes, because I love to eat them but I am allergic to everything. Do you know if all processed potatoes are processed/treated with sulfites, or just the potato flour on the market?

I know that feel <3

Depending on where you are in the world, non organic potatoes are often sprayed with sulfite based pesticides and preservatives to keep them from turning brown. 

Your safest bet would be to buy only certified organic potatoes and make everything yourself. You should also never eat pre-peeled or frozen potatoes as that makes them more sulfited (so anything from restaurants is a no go unless you know they are using only organic and not freezing). I forget why but it’s a thing and I’ve tested it out on myself a few times and yep, if I freeze fries before making them I will have a migraine the next day and my body will be having a meltdown.

Everything potato based needs to be made fresh from scratch if you have sulfite issues, although I have found I can tolerate some organic non gmo store bought potato chips, but only in small quantities. When I make my own however I can eat them by the bowl full and not have the same symptoms, likely because I don’t fry them but bake them in the oven. (most store bought chips will be frozen before frying to help them retain their shape) Also some of the oils they use can be troublesome for those of us with sulfite issues. For me canola oil and rapeseed oil are extremely bad. I tend to make everything with olive oil these days.

I hope that helps some  <3

We were discussing my allergy to sulfites at work today - mine is SEVERE.

I cannot have grape wines or most grape products and I have to be very careful in general with pickled/ fermented foods.

Everyone is baffled by the idea I can’t have wine, so we had this interaction today:

Coworker: they make low sulfite wines

Me: I know, but with how bad it is, I don’t want to risk it

Coworker: death by wine isn’t the worst way to go

Me: I’ve been in anaphylactic shock before, and it’s not something I want to repeat

I swear I’ve had similar conversations multiple times over the years because the concept of someone not being able to drink wine is beyond comprehension.
