Top 5 Plant Based Sources of Iron

Spinach – Spinach leads the leafy green vegetables category with 6.4mg of Iron or 34% of RDI in just one cup when its cooked. You must be careful with your Spinach intake though as it contains high amount of oxallates which are known to cause Kidney stones. You can put Kale to the mix which is low in oxallates and still a good source of Iron.
