Lots of women and men are now moving towards cooking in cast iron , primarily because of the goodness and the iron content that it adds to your food.

The average daily iron intake from foods and supplements is 13.7–15.1 mg/day in children aged 2–11 years, 16.3 mg/day in children and teens aged 12–19 years, and 19.3–20.5 mg/day in men and 17.0–18.9 mg/day in women older than 19.
