How cooking changes it

Per 100 g of cooked food. Yield is how many grams of cooked food 100 g raw makes: grains absorb water, meat loses it, and some vitamins break down.

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.

  • Meat or fish helps

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