Why it works for iron
Spinach and pumpkin seeds carry most of the iron here, and sun-dried tomatoes bring the vitamin C that plant iron needs to get in. It is quick enough for a weekday morning.

Plant iron needs a key to get in. On this plate it has one.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 100 g spinach
- 3 sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
Method
- 1
Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes and set aside.
- 2
Wilt the spinach for 2 minutes and squeeze out the water. Pat the tomatoes dry and chop them.
- 3
Scramble the eggs with the spinach and tomatoes. Scatter the seeds on top.
Drink water with it. Have coffee or tea 1 hour before or 2 hours after, as they hold plant iron back.
