Health benefits of using cast iron for cooking:
“Cooking in cast iron is known to greatly increase the dietary source of iron… Cooking in cast iron can often provide all of this element that a body needs.”
“The body needs iron because it is used in the blood. It is what carries oxygen from the lungs via the bloodstream to the rest of the body. It has been estimated that only 65 - 70% of Americans get enough iron. Low iron means that the blood does not efficiently circulate oxygen, causing a feeling of tiredness and sometimes head-aches.”
