When they say, for example in the cashew nut, that it contains a lot of magnesium and iron. Is there actually tiny bits of metal in it? Do I have to think like atom size? Or am I totally not getting this? Then explain like I’m 3.

There is metallic iron in some breakfast cereals. You can soak the cereal until it becomes mush and then use a magnet to pull the iron around.
