MIT Develops Iron and Iodine Fortified Coffee to Combat Nutrient Deficiency
MIT researchers have developed a novel method using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to fortify foods and beverages with iron and iodine, aiming to combat global nutrient deficiencies. These stable, crystalline particles can be added to staple foods and drinks without affecting taste or reactivity, and can release nutrients in the stomach. The approach offers a promising solution for improving nutrition in developing regions and beyond.
