For example imagine the situation when the induction waves reaching the food being cooked, howver I am well aware that induction waves dont harm the non-ferromagnetic content, however some green leefy vegetables have got iron mineral (an essential food supplement) which is unfortunately ferro-magnetic. So my concern wont this induction cooking burn the minute iron mineral in the food being cooked.

Induction cooking is simply a different, more efficient way of applying heat to the pot. The electromagnetic radiation doesn't reach the contents, just the pot.

Cooking food, especially vegetables, does reduce the nutritional content. That damage is done by the heat.

Microwave cooking is different. There, you are using electromagnetic radiation near the resonant frequency of the water molecules to impart energy directly to the water in the food. Here also, the dominant effect is simply the heat. It is applied quickly and uniformly throughout the food, rather than needing to penetrate the food by contact with a hot container.

Ionic ferrous and ferric compounds are not magnetic. For ferromagnetic effects, you need crystalline structures of metallic (elemental) iron with domains large enough to be aligned by an external magnetic field, and in a material capable of holding those domains in place once they are established. Food doesn't have this property unless you are eating nails.

Of course it will. Cooking by induction is never the best. Magnetism has nothing to do with the size of matter, whether minute or not, the iron contents in some food are affected by induction. But like you said, they are "minute" so humans often tend to overlook that fact.

Induction cooking may polarize the iron content but it shouldn't destroy it.
Like an MRI and hydrogen.
It is a good thought and could create some controversy.
It may require some objective experiments.

The iron will proceed to be contained in the food. besides the undeniable fact that overcooking may, only may impact your ability to soak up it. that is accessible (yet inconceivable) with regardless of the truth meaning you employ to practice dinner it. if you're actually not already affected by iron deficiency, you're not likely to get it from an occasional lack of iron contained in the food plan. quite usually anemia has a deeper reason than lack of nutritional iron.
