Zinc Wheat
Zinc Wheat is a type of wheat that has been biofortified to contain higher levels of zinc, an essential mineral important for human health. This biofortification process aims to improve the nutritional quality of wheat, especially in regions where zinc deficiency is common. By increasing the zinc content in wheat, it helps combat malnutrition and supports better immune function.
The development of Zinc Wheat is part of broader efforts to enhance food security and nutrition globally. It is particularly beneficial for populations that rely heavily on wheat as a staple food, providing a simple way to improve dietary intake of zinc without requiring significant changes in eating habits.
