Another common question I get asked is about iron. Although iron is found in meat, the best sources for iron are actually beans, seeds and leafy greens! Chard, spinach, turmeric and thyme are excellent sources of iron. Other very good sources of dietary iron include lettuce, blackstrap molasses, tofu, soybeans, greens (mustard greens, turnip greens and collard greens), string beans, mushrooms, lentils, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, broccoli, leeks and kelp. In fact, of the 20 "good" iron sources WH.Foods lists, only 2 meats are listed and they're at the very bottom of the list! (No dairy is on the list).
