Which is a good example of an iron-rich food?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Green leafy vegetable
Green leafy vegetables can contribute dietary iron and are useful components of a varied diet that supports haemoglobin formation. Plant iron is non-haem iron, whose absorption can be improved by vitamin C-rich foods. Severe or confirmed anaemia requires assessment and treatment rather than relying on one food alone.
