Anemia in general is a condition where hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels are lower than normal Anemia that is occurred by many adolescents due to Fe deficiency and can be called Fe deficiency anemia (Tarwoto, 2014). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of consumption of boiled red beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) on hemoglobin levels in adolescents in Institute of Health Science (STRADA), Kediri.

Based on the statistical results using Wilcoxon test, the obtained p value = 0.005 <α 0.05, then H 0 is rejected and H1 accepted, which means there is an effect of boiled red beans (PhaseolusvulgarisL) on hemoglobin levels in adolescents in the Institute of Health Science (STRADA), Kediri. It can be concluded that boiled red beans (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) contain iron, which is useful for increasing hemoglobin levels in the blood.
