Hey gang. Sorry haven't been around a lot lately. Dealing with some stuff. I am currently sick in bed and saw this fact on daytime tv and thought I would share it.
Cooking in cast iron pots and pans can boost the iron content in your food by up to 20%! Apparently when you heat the pan the iron from the pan leeches out into your food. The trend away from cast iron cooking is in part to blame for the rising occurence of lower iron levels these days.
Take it for what it's worth. I haven't done scientific research on it but how hard is it to just switch a pan? A good workout for the cook too!
