Well I didn't vote cause you don't have roots listed but beets-esp. red beets, are very high in iron. My body has a hard time getting enough iron so I crave them periodically. You can either get them canned straight up or pickled-I like both. But they stain clothes really easily :(

I know, there are only 5 options, so I had to leave out the roots :(

I'm a huge fan of soy products, but legumes and spinach are regulars for me too.
