Nearly 1 in 3 American adults may suffer from iron deficiency.

Iron is an essential mineral, meaning your body needs it to function properly.

Iron supports brain development, overall growth and cellular function and even plays a role in hormone production.

Iron from animal sources is more easily absorbed, plant-based sources are just as important.

Just over 3 cups ( 100 grams ) of raw spinach gives you 2.71 mg of nonheme iron.

It’s also packed with potassium, magnesium , calcium, folate and vitamin C.

Fortified foods can be a great way to boost your iron intake, and cereal is an easy option.
