What Helps with Iron Absorption in the Body
This one sounds like a grandma’s old wives’ tale, but it’s actually backed by science. When you cook acidic foods like tomatoes, lemon juice, or applesauce in a cast iron skillet, tiny amounts of iron leach into your food. It’s like free vitamins with zero effort.
No need to buy a fancy new pan—just grab a basic cast iron skillet from any kitchen store. I use mine for scrambled eggs and chili, and I swear my afternoon slump got less dramatic.
