The iron absorption of lentils isn't great, though... but I'm trying to think of ways to increase my iron intake because mine is low.
The hardest thing is that you have to soak the lentils overnight. And you will need a blender or food processor. The best part is it's high in protein.
as far as my piss poor understanding of nutrition goes, to increase bioavailability of plant based irons you just gotta consume it with something that has vit c in it. like spinach n strawberrys. 10000% not a nutritionist or whatever but just random info that has lodged itself in my brain
Thanks for mentioning it. I did know that already, but it could help others too.
