Prunes and Lima Beans
Most fruits and vegetables are relatively low in iodine. Plus, their iodine amounts will be affected by the iodine content of the soil, fertilizer use and irrigation practices. However, prunes may be a good vegan or vegetarian source of iodine. Additionally, prunes are rich in vitamins and nutrients.
Lima beans are also a relatively good vegetarian or vegan source of iodine, folate, magnesium and fiber, making them a healthy dietary choice, particularly for the heart.
