Spinach Broni Nazma Lakhani
Healthy Hints
Although spinach is a little overrated in terms of being a fantastic source of iron, it does provide some iron. When a source of vitamin C (like lemon, lime, a side salad or a glass of fruit juice) is added to a recipe, it increases the absorption of iron from vegetarian foods. The lemon juice in this dish helps your body to get more iron out of that spinach.
