      The seasoning layer prevents massive amounts of iron from leeching but seasoned pans still add iron.

      Medical journals all say you get significant iron from seasoned cast iron.

      The only source that doesn’t agree is America’s test kitchen. They say “only a few mg” which would still be a significant percentage of dietary requirements.

      Unless you have a medical problem, this is a good thing.
