Dried Fruit and Nuts are iron-rich, healthful snacks.
In this article, we give a list of 10 top of them with highest iron content and a few choices of dried fruits and nuts that will help you keep your iron levels up and provide a delightful snack.

Apricots are a great source of many different nutrients! Not only does it include the antioxidant vitamins A and B carotene, which help maintain healthy eyes, but it is also one of the most abundant sources of non-heme iron (iron found in plant foods).
Apricots are the ideal fruit to include in your lunchbox or carry with you as a convenient snack when you're on the road.
If you would rather have them in a dish, you may put them in a summer salad or in Greek yogurt, which you can have for breakfast or as a dessert in the evening, depending on your preference.
Either way, they are delicious.
- Cashew nuts
In addition to being rich in a variety of other vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and healthy fats, nuts and seeds are also good sources of non-heme iron.
