    Hi,

    As I know these are rich in iron.

    Vegetables like broccoli, beetroot, mint, lettuce.

    Beans like black eye beans, soyabeans, green gram whole.

    Fruits like dried dates, raisins, water melon.

    Another thing dont go for Lion dates better is dried dates with seed as others will be more processed.
