The potential of bamboo seeds for natural biofortification of dietary zinc and iron
Q. Hu, R. Wang, et al.
Discover the remarkable potential of Moso bamboo seeds as a nutrient-rich food source! This groundbreaking study, conducted by Qifang Hu and colleagues, reveals that these seeds boast significantly higher bioaccessibility and bioavailability of iron and zinc compared to rice, even after boiling. With lower phytic acid levels and distinct micronutrient localization, bamboo seeds may be key players in iron and zinc biofortification.
