10 Vegetables High In Iron
High Iron Vegetable #2: Spinach
Spinach is often the go-to food that people think of as iron-rich, especially vegetarians and vegans. A cup of cooked spinach, which isn’t really that much, gives you 36% of your daily value of iron while only providing you with 41 calories.
Since cooked spinach gets quite small and can be used in an endless number of recipes, it’s not hard to get your daily iron from spinach alone. However, the healthiest way to go about it is to switch up the food sources that you get your nutrients from.
