Iron is a vital micronutrient that has to be in the right proportion in our body to eliminate several health issues related to iron deficiency such as anemia. During food processing, natural iron components may get lost. So, to fulfill the need of this micronutrient, iron is highly recommended to be added in cereals and premixes.
