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.
While iron is better absorbed from heme (meat) sources, non-heme (plant) iron is better regulated causing less damage to the body. High iron foods include clams, liver, sunflower seeds, nuts, beef, lamb, beans, whole grains, dark leafy greens (spinach), dark chocolate, and tofu.
