10 Vegetables High In Iron
High Iron Vegetable #5: Beans and Lentils
It’s not just soybeans that are a great source of iron. Pretty much all beans and lentils are a healthy source of this vital nutrient. Lentils, for example, will give you about 6.6 mg of iron per cup cooked. Kidney beans, lima beans and navy beans all provide a similar amount of protein, between 4.4mg to 6.6mg of it per each cup cooked.
The same is true of lentils and beans such as soybeans: if you sprout them or soak them, you will release more of their nutritional value and can reap even more benefits.
