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.

Water typically has iron, magnesium, calcium, manganese etc in it. It’s in a soluble form. Some of it can be oxidized out of solution.
