innovation in fishing and aquaculture for direct human consumption, direct problems, suggestions for hypotheses?
In my city, there is a high rate of anemia in children, which is very worrying. The issue of creating food alternatives in high concentrations of iron is not enough, the consumer must feel the product is pleasant.
suggestions
As Peru is a tropical country, the following vegetable items can be grown & used Iron supplements.
Colocasia tuber & leaves contain high Iron content. Both can be used in food. The plant is somewhat of a semi-hardy variety & can also be grown in pots. The leaves are cleaned & dressed by removing the veins from the ventral side, applied with Bengal Gram flour semi-solid dough( after adding adequate table salt) & steam cooked. In this way, the dish can be prepared.
Gooseberry also contains high amounts of Iron. The fruit can be preserved in salt solution/ jam can also be prepared without addition of any preservatives & has a very long shelf life.
Hope this helps.
fish is a good source of iron, if the fish is well fed, you can have a good quality'fish in iron , just look for a good food formula. the advantage is that the fish contains heme iron which is better assimilated (about 5 times) than the non heme iron contained in plants or dairy products.
Dear Percy william Palomino Pariona
In my opinion, the cause of anemia needs to be investigated first. If children have anemia in general, this may not be caused by nutrition. First of all, intestinal parasites should be investigated (threadworm, tapeworms, taeniae, etc.). If this is not an issue, it should be investigated what prevents iron absorption. In addition to seafood, green vegetables and dried legumes are also important sources of iron. But first, the source of the problem should be determined.
