Iron is one of the most important nutritional ingredients our body needs. To name just a few of its uses:

1. Important element in the process of transferring oxygen to the cells of our body

2. Our immune system needs heaps of it to function properly

3. Takes part in the process of turning food into energy

4. Helps our body to absorb vitamin C (another important nutritional ingredient)

It should be noted that pregnant women need quite a bit of it because their growing baby needs plenty of iron as well.

There's plenty of iron in poultry and beef.

Vegetarians and vegans can find plenty of iron in beans, nuts, almonds, lentils, sesame seeds, tahini and more.

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.
