Overview

Narrative review explores the role of common beans in improving iron intake among vulnerable populations, suggesting a sustainable dietary approach.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how common beans can mitigate iron deficiency anemia through sustainable dietary strategies.
  • Reviewed studies from 2014 to 2025 focusing on common beans and iron deficiency anemia.
  • Examined biofortification and processing methods to enhance iron intake and bioavailability.
  • Discussed pilot intervention programs and the reutilization of bean cooking water.
  • Biofortification significantly increased iron levels in common beans.
  • Improved processing methods preserved micronutrients, enhancing dietary iron intake.
  • Pilot programs showed increased food security and improvements in dietary habits among targeted populations.
