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.
| Method | Yield | Calories | Protein | Fat | Carbs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raw | 100% | 389 kcal | 16.9 g | 6.9 g | 66.3 g |
| Soaked | 150% | 259 kcal | 11.3 g | 4.6 g | 44.2 g |
| Boiled | 548% | 71 kcal | 3.1 g | 1.3 g | 12.1 g |
| Steamed | 250% | 156 kcal | 6.8 g | 2.8 g | 26.5 g |
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.
