Individuals with low iron levels in their blood are at an increased risk of anemia, or iron deficiency. Luckily quinoa is bursting with iron, helping to prevent issues with communication, comprehension, and memory due to iron deficiency. Additionally, quinoa contains vitamin C, which enhances the absorption of iron in the body. These nutrients work together to support healthy iron levels!
