One boiled egg can reduce absorption of iron in a meal by as much as 28%. Oxalates impair the absorption of non-heme iron. Oxalates are found in foods such as spinach, kale, beets, nuts, chocolate, tea, wheat bran, rhubarb, strawberries and herbs such as oregano, basil and parsley. The presence of oxalates in spinach explains why the iron in spinach is not absorbed.
Dried beans and dark green leafy vegetables are especially good sources of iron, even better on a per calorie basis than meat. Iron absorption is increased markedly by eating foods containing vitamin C along with foods containing iron. Vegetarians do not have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than do meat eaters.ried beans and dark green leafy vegetables are especially good sources of iron, even better on a per calorie basis than meat.
