This is one of the main reasons why conditions like iron deficiency is so common among people. Shockingly 53% of women suffer from it which is unbelievably alarming.

One of the greatly known iron rich foods is the whole grain brown rice, which is far healthier than white rice and tastes equally good. Being a food lover, I have always significantly been a fan of vegetable pulao. But nutrition level of white rice isn’t very much appreciated, so I always had to control my cravings for pulao until I tried my customized vegetable pulao recipe made with none other than brown rice.
