What to pair it with

  • 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.

  • Add vitamin C

    Bell pepper, sauerkraut, citrus or kiwi at the same meal raise plant iron absorption several times over.

    Source: PMID 2507689, PMID 20200263

  • Meat or fish helps

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