Iron can be obtained from vegetables that contain non-heme iron. Leafy greens like spinach and kale, legumes such as lentils and beans, and plant-based sources like tofu and tempeh are rich in iron. To enhance absorption, pair these with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits and tomatoes. While non-heme iron is less easily absorbed than heme iron from animal sources, a well-balanced diet with diverse iron-rich vegetables ensures a steady intake. Be mindful of compounds like oxalates in some veggies that may hinder absorption. A nutritionally varied approach helps meet iron needs for overall health.
