Quite the opposite you can easily obtain iron in vegetables more than enough to fill the dietary needs and in people with hemochromatosis common in the Basque people and Celtics it’s easy to get too much iron from vegetables we actually have to watch what we eat in the vegetable world.

AI is spot on right these are all the foods us Basques have to watch how much we eat of them. Shellfish, beef and tuna is also a limited consumption item due to the Iron in it.

[Dark leafy greens: Spinach, kale, collard greens, beet greens, and Swiss chard are all great sources of iron.

Broccoli: A good source of iron, as well as other nutrients.

Sweet potatoes: Offer a good amount of iron along with other vitamins and minerals.

String beans: Also known as green beans, these are another iron-rich vegetable.

Potatoes: A common and versatile source of iron, especially when eaten with the skin.

Legumes: Lentils, peas (including dried and canned), and various types of beans (kidney, garbanzo, cannellini, soybeans) are excellent sources of iron.

Canned tomato products: Canned tomatoes and tomato paste can contribute to your iron intake.

Beet greens: The leafy tops of beets are a good source of iron.

White mushrooms: Cooked white mushrooms offer a decent amount of iron.

Sun-dried tomatoes: A concentrated source of iron, especially when added to dishes.]
