How does iron get into our food i needs to knows?
Iron enters our food primarily through two sources: plant-based foods and animal products. Plants absorb iron from the soil, which can then be consumed directly or through animal feed, leading to iron accumulation in animal tissues. Additionally, iron can be added to foods during processing, fortification, or when cooking with iron cookware, enhancing dietary iron intake. Overall, a balanced diet with a variety of foods helps ensure adequate iron levels.

How does the absorption of iron from plant foods differ from animal foods?
The absorption of iron from plant foods differs from that from animal foods primarily due to the type of iron present. Animal sources contain heme iron, which is more readily absorbed by the body, while plant sources provide non-heme iron, which has lower bioavailability. Additionally, plant foods often contain compounds like phytates and polyphenols that can inhibit iron absorption. To enhance non-heme iron absorption, it is beneficial to consume vitamin C-rich foods alongside plant-based iron sources.

What does non heme iron mean?
Non-heme iron refers to the form of iron found in plant-based foods and supplements, whereas heme iron is the type found in animal-based foods like meat, fish, and poultry. Non-heme iron is not as easily absorbed by the body as heme iron, so consuming it alongside vitamin C can help enhance its absorption.
