Why People Put Nails in Apples – Does It Really Work and Is It Safe?

  • Iron-rich foods: Red meat, chicken liver, lentils, beans, spinach, pumpkin seeds

  • Vitamin C: Enhances iron absorption from plant sources

  • Modern supplements: Safe and effective under a doctor’s guidance

Final Verdict
Yes, nails in apples do release a small amount of iron. Historically, it was a creative solution when other options were unavailable. Today, however, it’s considered outdated and potentially risky if nails are not pure and sterilized. Modern diets and supplements are far safer and more effective.
