What two foods should vegetarians eat daily to ensure they are getting their iron requirement that is usually supplied by meat products?

Answer 1

Legumes and dark leafy green vegetables.

There are many foods (no one single pair in particular) that a person who is vegetarian can eat to replace what they do not naturally gt from their diets from meat products. Mainly, people will be missing out on vitamins B6 and B12, along with iron and potentially protein. These can all be found (in varying but significant enough amounts) in....

*Nuts

*Fruits

*Dark, leafy greens / Vegetables

*Whole Grains

*Dairy products

*Peanut Butter / Nut Butters (Almonds, Cashews, ect.)

*Tofu

Also, it can be very helpful for a vegetarian person to take supplements, especially for Vitamin B12 which is almost only found in high amounts in animals.
