10 Vegetables High In Iron
High Iron Vegetable #9: Potatoes
Potatoes, both the regular and the sweet variety, are considered to be pretty good sources of iron. Most of the iron is found in the skins, so make sure that you don’t throw them away if you peel them. You can make other foods with them – stuffed potato skins are an incredibly delicious food that can be made quite healthy.
A single unpeeled potato, weighing around 10 ounces, will give you about 18% of your daily need of iron. Similar sized sweet potatoes will give you a little bit less iron.
