The iodine content in water samples varied from source to source and from zone to zone.Research limitations/implicationsThe investigators could not obtain sufficient samples of pulses and fruits for analysis from rural areas as they are not grown by farmers in their fields.Originality/valueThe study is original and innovative. The values of iodine for various foods are not available in the literature, and thus data of the present study will be useful to researchers, nutritionists, food scientists and dieticians.
