Iron rich Indian desserts | Indian desserts rich in iron |

When we talk of stocking up our iron levels by way of dessert, we focus mainly on nuts and oilseeds as a major source. Figs, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds and garden cress seeds are a few examples of nuts and seeds brimming with iron.

These desserts source their sweetness from natural ingredients like dates or honey or some amounts of jaggery which is again a good source of iron. However, a wiser option is to always consume sweets in moderation and also look at other ways of making up your iron requirement.
