TLDR Beets and potatoes are good sources of iron and manganese, important for health.
The study assessed the importance of iron and manganese as essential nutrients for the human body, highlighting their roles in immune function, brain and nervous system operation, and metabolic processes. Iron deficiency was linked to anemia and developmental delays in children, while manganese was noted for its involvement in nerve function, insulin secretion, and hair growth, among other functions. The research analyzed vegetable crops, finding high iron content in beets and potatoes, which could meet daily requirements for these microelements, emphasizing their nutritional value.
