Iron from the Spinach

If you want to get the iron benefit from these pancakes, make sure you are using a dairy-free yogurt. Dairy blocks the absorption of the iron-rich foods, so it’s important to use a dairy-free yogurt, if, you want to get more iron from your food. This applies to all iron-rich foods and not just these pancakes. Even if you use regular yogurt, you and your child will still get other health benefits from spinach, even if the iron is blocked by the dairy. Spinach is loaded with tons of vitamins and minerals, outside of iron.
