: It should be equivalent to what's happening when you're making astew in an iron
: skillet and there's something sour in the stew (tomatoes, red wine or
similar stuff).
: The sour stuff releases minute amounts of iron from the skillet into the
food and this
: iron will to some extent be absorbed and utilized by your body. I
would assume
: what's released is iron oxide - i.e. similar to what you would find in an
iron
: supplement - and not ferrous oxide.
"Iron oxide" is ambiguous. There are three iron oxides: ferrous oxide,
ferric oxide aka hematite, and magnetite.
