In the category of vegetables, we included whole vegetable products in the Top 10 list. We excluded dried/dehydrated products from the Top 10. You will find some dehydrated vegetables high in iron per 100 grams,but they tend to be far more volume than anyone would consume. Furthermore, foods may be fortified with iron but are not included in this Top 10 list. The food tested for the particular graph below can be described more specifically as:

Vegetables for the most part are not an exceptional iron source. Those vegetables that are loaded with iron also are more likely to be packed with iron inhibitors and so you may not take in a great deal of the iron from the vegetable itself.
On the other hand, even a vegetable with very little iron may play a major part in your iron metabolism. Vegetables often times are abundant in vitamin C, a vitamin that will assist you in absorbing the iron in vegetarian foods; potato flour is a modest source of vitamin C.
Notwithstanding, for example you may wish to include tomatoes and green peppers with a grain-based main dish or with a bean recipe to help you absorb more of the iron in your entire meal. A raw strawberry dessert with a meal would also improve your iron metabolism because of the vitamin C in the fruit itself. A glass of fruit juice is a further an excellent plan.
