What to pair it with
Hinders iron absorption
Don’t drink it with iron-rich meals (buckwheat, legumes, greens): have it at least 1 hour before or 1–2 hours after.
Source: PMID 10999016
Tea, coffee and milk — separately
This is rich in plant iron. Tea, coffee and dairy at the same meal noticeably lower its absorption — have them an hour before or 1–2 hours after.
Source: PMID 11029010, PMID 20200263, PMID 1984335
Add vitamin C
Bell pepper, sauerkraut, citrus or kiwi at the same meal raise plant iron absorption several times over.

Meat or fish helps
Meat and fish proteins at the same meal boost plant iron absorption.
