Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Great link Rosetalleo. So much great info on that link.

Not a vegetarian site, so they list venison, which apparently is the richest in iron of the meats, but it is not at the top or near it. The richest sources of iron are actually vegetarian. This was a surprise to me. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient & dbid=70 , " rosetalleo " <rosetalleo wrote: > > Yes, one cup serving of just about any beans will give you from 20% to 45% (soy beans) of your daily nutritional requirements of iron. I think if you can get at least a serving of greens and a serving of beans every day you will meet your requirements and they are non processed foods. Also, greens have calcium and other minerals we need, not to speak of all the fiber and both greens and beans are also so easy on the wallet.... > Roseta > > , DennSedai <DennSedai@> wrote: > > > > Any type of dark green leafy veggies are good for iron, spinach, kale, > > greens, etc. Bananas are also supposed to be good for both iron and > > potassium.
