Yes there are some vegetables that are high in iron and can be a good source for vegetarians and vegans:

Spinach: Contains about the same amount of iron as red meat, with 100 grams of spinach containing 2.7 milligrams of iron, compared to 2.6 milligrams in 100 grams of meat.

Swiss chard: Contains 3.4 milligrams of iron per 150 gram serving.

Cooked beet greens: Contain 1.9 milligrams of iron per 100 gram serving.

Lamb's lettuce: Contains 2 milligrams of iron per 100 gram serving.

Broccoli: High in iron and vitamin C, which helps the body absorb the iron.

Peas: High in nonheme iron, which is similar to the iron found in animal flesh.

Kale: Cooking kale increases its iron content, so a cup of cooked kale has closer to 1 milligram of iron than a cup of raw kale.

Potato skin: The skin of a baked potato contains 88% of the potato's iron

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

I'm sure you've heard this old saying.
But, what exactly does it mean and is it really true?

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a common English-language proverb that appeared in the 19th century, advocating for the consumption of apples, and by extension, "if one eats healthful foods, one will remain in good health and will not need to see the doctor often."

1. Apples are nutritious
Apples are considered nutrient-dense fruits, meaning they provide a lot of nutrients per serving.

The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 2 cups of fruit daily for a 2,000-calorie diet, emphasizing whole fruits like apples.

One medium 7-ounce (oz) or 200 grams (g) apple offers the following nutrients:
Calories: 104
Carbs: 28 g
Fiber: 5 g
Vitamin C: 10% of the Daily Value (DV)
Copper: 6% of the DV
Potassium: 5% of the DV
Vitamin K: 4% of the DV
The same serving also provides 2–5% of the DV for vitamins E, B1, and B6.

Apples are also a rich source of polyphenols, an important group of antioxidants. While nutrition labels don’t list these plant compounds, they’re likely responsible for many of apples’ health benefits.

To get the most out of apples, leave the skin on, as it contains half of the fiber and most of the polyphenols.

2. Apples may support weight loss
Apples are high in fiber and water, which makes them filling.
In one study , eating whole apples increased fullness more than consuming equal amounts of apple juice. This may happen because whole apples reduce gastric emptying — the rate at which your stomach empties.

3. Apples could be good for your heart
Apples have been linked to a lower chance of heart disease. Research has found that eating 100-150 g/d of whole apples is associated with a lower chance of heart disease and risk factors such as high blood pressure.
One reason may be that they contain soluble fiber. This fiber is also associated with a lower chance of heart disease.
