Vegetables overall are not an exceptional iron source. Those vegetables that are loaded with iron also tend to be high in iron blockers, making it difficult to take in a great deal of the iron from the vegetables.
Yet, even a vegetable with modest amounts of iron may play a valuable role in your iron metabolism. Vegetables often times are loaded with vitamin C, a vitamin that can help you absorb the iron in non-meat foods; palm hearts are a modest source of vitamin C.
Nevertheless, for instance you can incorporate vine ripened tomatoes and green peppers with a grain-based main dish or with a bean recipe to improve your metabolism of the iron in your entire meal. A raw orange salad with a meal would also boost your iron absorption because of the fruit’s vitamin content. A glass of fruit juice is also an excellent plan.
