How can I eat the healthiest food possible?

Iron in Spinach

Don't rely strictly on spinach to get your iron. Your body can't absorb enough iron from spinach to justify its reputation as a major source of that mineral. The best way to get iron from vegetables is to make a meatless stew such as chili with beans. The vitamin C in the tomatoes and bell peppers helps release iron from the beans.
