Nutritional composition comprising an edible carrier comprising an emulsifie r capable of forming a bilayer structure (a vesicle or liposome) and a divalent mineral salt (Fe, Ca, Zn, Cu, Mg, Mn) on the carrie r. In particular claimed nutritional iron compositions comprising bioavailable sources of iron selected from ferrous fumarate and ferrous succinate where the iron source is preferably spread on the surface of a lecithin coated edible carrier such as sucrose. These nutritional iron compositions are particularly useful in food and beverage product such as chocolate flavored edible mixes, especially chocolate flavored beverages, that are additionally fortified with other minerals and vitamins, especially multi-mineral and vitamin combinations involving, iodin e, vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, and folic acid to avoid developing an undesirable color, off-flavor, astringency, particularly when the edible and/or beverage mix is reconstituted with water of milk. |
