Description CIAT- Outstanding Research Publication Award (ORPA) - 2016
Background: Food-based strategies to reduce nutritional iron deficiency have not been universally successful. Biofortification has the potential to become a sustainable, inexpensive, and effective solution.

Objective: This randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of iron-biofortified beans (Fe-Beans) to improve iron status in Rwandan women.

Methods: A total of 195 women (aged 18–27 y) with serum ferritin
