Is Reticulin Pescatarian?
AvoidNo. Reticulin is a type of fiber found in the liver, spleen and kidney.
Reticulin and the Pescatarian Diet
Reticulin is a fibrous protein that is an integral part of the extracellular matrix in animal tissues, particularly within the liver, spleen, and kidneys. It forms a network of fibers that provide structural support to these organs. Unlike collagen, which is another type of structural protein, reticulin fibers are finer and more delicate, playing a crucial role in maintaining the architecture of soft tissues. Due to its origin, reticulin is not typically found in plant-based foods and is therefore absent in vegetarian and vegan diets.
