New packaging. Supplement your iron intake with Nambu ironware. Tenku Tetsumaru Convection Type. Trademark application pending. Tetsumaru Nambu Iron [◆Caution◆] Due to the nature of iron and the fact that this product is not enamel-coated, rust will occur after use. Please be aware of this before purchasing. [Material] Nambu cast iron [Size] Approx. 6 x 6 x 2.3 cm [Weight] Approx. 170 g [Made in Japan] Nambu Iron
[Four holes and bowl-shaped design for increased effectiveness] Tenku Tetsumaru reduces the contact surface to promote convection, and has four holes of about 5 mm on the top to promote convection circulation. This allows more iron to dissolve. Compared to products without holes, the amount of iron dissolved is increased by about 30-40%. Compared to a solid block of iron without holes, the amount dissolved is doubled. [Only Tetsumaru is a high-temperature hardened type] Tetsumaru is a rare high-temperature hardened type among iron supplement products. After casting, further heating at high temperatures increases the amount of iron released by up to 10 times, and also slows down the progression of rust. Each iron ball is polished by hand by skilled craftsmen, making it the ultimate companion for iron supplementation.
[For Heatstroke Prevention] When it comes to preventing heatstroke, "water" and "salt" come to mind, but it's surprisingly little known that "iron" is just as important. When iron is deficient, hemoglobin is not produced, and iron, which carries oxygen to every part of the body, is not easily absorbed by the body and is not very effective when supplementing iron from food. In this respect, the released iron (ferrous iron) in Tenku Iron Balls is efficiently absorbed by the body, making it very effective. [Just put it in your cooking utensils] It's easy to use. Just put the appropriate amount of water in a pot or kettle and put the Tenku Iron Ball in. It is effective when you just pop it in miso soup, tea, stir-fries, or even in your pickling bed. It can also be used in a rice cooker to cook rice fluffy and simultaneously replenish iron.
