Which bread is high in iron?
Sourdough is an impressive type of bread for many reasons, including its iron content. Wheat contains phytic acid, which interferes with the body’s ability to absorb iron. But with sourdough, the fermentation process helps make iron more available for absorption by breaking down that phytic acid. A regular slice of sourdough bread can have about 12 percent of the average daily recommended dietary intake of iron.
