But, back to prunes, how much iron do they really contain? Turns out, a single serving of prunes (about 100g) contains around 3mg of iron, which is approximately 17% of the recommended daily intake. Not bad, right, especially when you consider that iron from plant-based sources like prunes is more easily absorbed by the body than from meat sources.
Now, I know what you're thinking, what about other iron-rich foods, like spinach, beans, and red meat? Those are all great options, don't get me wrong, but prunes have some unique benefits that set them apart. For one, they're ridiculously easy to incorporate into your diet, just toss them in your oatmeal, yogurt, or blend them into a smoothie.
