Abstract

Anemia that occurs in pregnant women is a condition where there is a lack of red blood cells in the blood circulation or hemoglobin (Hb) so that they cannot carry out their function in carrying oxygen properly. One of the triggers for pregnant women experiencing anemia is a lack of intake of foods rich in iron. One food ingredient that is high in iron is spinach. Spinach can be processed into a main dish or snack that pregnant women like. Spinach preparations that can be given to pregnant women are mackerel fish sticks prepared with the addition of spinach flour. It is hoped that mackerel fish sticks with the addition of spinach flour will be liked and help pregnant women meet their daily iron needs.
