Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonheme iron, found in plant foods and iron-fortified foods, is less readily absorbed by the body compared to heme iron, which is found in animal products. Consuming food sources of nonheme iron without strategies to enhance its absorption does not directly enhance the bioavailability of iron. In contrast, consuming leavened bread, soaking beans, and consuming vitamin C can all improve the absorption of nonheme iron.
