Which food is rich in iron?

• A. Beans
• B. Oranges
• C. Spinach
• D. Milk

Answer: (C)

Iron is a mineral our bodies use to make hemoglobin, so choosing foods with substantial iron helps prevent deficiency. Spinach provides a solid amount of iron and is a well-known plant-based source, so it stands out among common foods listed here. Remember, the iron in spinach is non-heme iron, which is absorbed less efficiently than iron from meat, but you can boost absorption by pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods. The orange mainly offers vitamin C and little iron itself, milk contains very little iron and calcium can interfere with iron absorption, and beans do contain iron as well, but spinach is typically recognized as the richer iron source among these options.
