Experts explained why buckwheat porridge is of particular value to women in terms of its health benefits.
According to them, iron deficiency anemia often occurs in women, which is due to physiological characteristics.
In connection with such a sad circumstance, ladies are advised to carefully monitor the level of iron in the blood.
It is buckwheat that helps to compensate for the deficiency of this mineral – for the simple reason that this product contains a large amount of this useful mineral.
Experts reminded that plant iron is absorbed only by 8-18 percent, while animal iron is absorbed by 15%-35%.
To ensure better absorption of iron, experts recommend eating buckwheat with fresh vegetables, fruits and greens, which are rich in vitamin C.
For reference
Buckwheat porridge (grechka) is a porridge made from buckwheat grain, a popular dish in Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Lithuanian and Polish cuisines.
