In plant-based diets, phytate is the main inhibitor of iron absorption. The inhibitory action of phytates on iron absorption has been found to be dose dependent and starts at concentration as low as 2–10mg/meal [11]. Phytates are found in grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and roots. Chemically, phytates are inositol hexaphosphate salts and are a storage form of phosphates and minerals. Food processing and preparation methods, which include milling, heat treatment, soaking, fermentation, and germination, may remove or degrade phytates to a varying extent [12].
