Anemic? these foods will help to improve

 

 

Some other foods are dates, ragi/ finger millet- which is rich in iron and calcium- make porridge with it along with oats and milk, for sweetness add jaggery/ molasses, which is rich in iron. It is very important to remember that whenever you eat leafy greens which are rich in iron, to absorb it, you need Vitamin C in your diet- amla/ Indian gooseberry is very rich in Vit. C. 1 amla gives enough Vit. C for the day. You can eat it as pickle, or raita or morraba- i.e. it is put in sugar syrup and dried. Or lemon, orange do have Vit C but much less than amla. You can add lemon pickle or with orange peel, green chilies and ginger in tamarind paste make a chutney, that goes well with it. It can be stored for few days in the fridge too.

Flaked rice/ avil is also rich in iron, especially the red one- make poha with it twice a  week for breakfast, adding veges, peanuts, curry leaves, coriander leaves and once cooked, before serving always add lime juice to get its full benefit. It is because Vit. C loses it nutrient in heat, except amla when you cook to make pickle, it doesn't lose much Vit. C.

 

Ragi flour can be used to make dosa too, you can make sweet pancake with it adding jaggery, to get more iron. 

When you cook in iron pan, tawa, kadai, like what our elders did, it was to get iron from the vessels. Only thing, after making dry veges like raw banana and any others, best to remove to another container after cooking, as if you keep in the iron kadai, it will become black over time.
