THE IRON CONTENT OF SPINACH

Compared to many other vegetables, spinach has a higher iron content. However, iron in vegetables tends to have low bioavailability - that is, it is not easily absorbed in the body. The low rate of absorption iron is partly due to polyphenol compounds in spinach binding iron - not due to its oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) content (as previously thought). Though spinach might not be a great source of iron, it's a good source of vitamin A in the form of carotenoids.
