Well ok, we still mention spinach. Because yes, for 100 g, they are richer in iron than a piece of red meat (2.5 to 4 mg per 100 g) but we admit that it is not particularly high. Spinach is especially a great source of fiber and vitamins. We're breaking the myth of your childhood with Popeye a little, but you had to tell the truth...
We cannot talk about iron without mentioning lentils, this eternal favorite seed vegetable of vegetarians and very rich in protein. To be consumed without moderation.
We love to nibble on them as an aperitif or as a snack, this very energetic and iron-shielded dry fruit will keep us lively throughout the day.
Good news:in addition to being an essential delicacy and brightening up our TV evenings, chocolate (dark, we specify!) is even richer in iron than red meat. A good reason to treat yourself!
Another favorite food of vegetarians (and not only):quinoa. You can taste this gluten-free seed with hazelnut aftertaste in a salad or as an accompaniment, according to your desires!
We often forget it, but this delicious mushroom (which we love with tagliatelle and a little crème fraiche) hides a high iron content! If you lack iron, morels are to be preferred!
We don't hesitate to sprinkle sesame seeds on our dishes because in addition to being good and rich in vitamin E (a vitamin with a radioprotective role), sesame has a very high iron level!
Some do not really appreciate the taste of this miracle seaweed of the Incas, yet spirulina is an anti-fatigue ally highly recommended for its iron intake! And it contains 55% to 70% protein (oh yes, anyway!)
Our favorite herb for flavoring homemade ratatouille turns out to be an excellent way to consume iron very easily.
And yes, some spices are also full of iron! This is the case with cumin, which gives a sweet and fragrant taste to our dishes (to be enjoyed on a chickpea salad for example – 6.2 mg per 100 g – just to recharge your iron batteries!)
Good app!
