As a dietary expert with a focus on nutrition, I can tell you that spinach is a vegetable that is particularly high in iron. It's a great source of non-heme iron, which is the type of iron found in plant-based foods. Including spinach in your diet can help increase your iron intake, which is essential for the production of hemoglobin and the transportation of oxygen throughout the body.

Leafy Greens. Leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, swiss chard, collard and beet greens contain between 2.5�C6.4 mg of iron per cooked cup, or 14�C36% of the RDI. For example, 100 grams of spinach contains 1.1 times more iron than the same amount of red meat and 2.2 times more than 100 grams of salmon (26, 27).
