Solution Overview & Benefits
The Lucky Iron Fish is a small iron cooking tool that infuses your meals with a healthy amount of natural iron to help prevent iron deficiency and anemia.
Designed to add a significant portion of your daily required iron intake when added to any boiling liquids for 10 minutes.

Iron deficiency can lead to the weakening of the immune system and cognitive impairment in developmental stages towards children and pregnant women. The iron fish was made to defend against this ailment.
The fish, slightly acidified by lemon juice, only needs to be placed in the pot when water is boiling or cooking. The iron will be naturally released into the food or water that the villagers consume. This has halved the incidences of clinical anemia and increased the circulation of iron.
Lucky Iron Fish works with partners, big and small, around the globe to help distribute Fish and address iron deficiency among the world's poor.
History & Development
The Lucky Iron Fish was created as a simple solution to combat iron deficiency, particularly in developing countries like Cambodia. The idea was inspired by the traditional practice of cooking with iron objects to boost iron intake. It is shaped like a fish, a symbol of good luck in Cambodian culture, and when boiled in cooking water for ten minutes, it releases a safe amount of iron to enrich meals and improve health. The initiative has helped reduce anemia and promote better nutrition worldwide.
