While this is generally true, it isn't always true. The outer parts of some vegetables are richer in dietary fiber, can be richer in iron from the chromophores and contain other vitamins (like vitaman A) in higher concentrations than the inner parts of the vegetable. On the other hand a higher concentration of dietary fiber sometimes leads to leeching of iron out of the body as the iron binds tighter to the dietary fiber than to the transport proteins and as a result the iron is excreted along with the fiber.
