| A. | Rice |
| B. | Apple |
| C. | Pulses |
| D. | Orange |
| Answer» B. Apple | |
|
Explanation: Apples are a great, healthy food, but even with the skin they do not contain a large amount of iron. Apples contain 11 milligrams of iron per 100 grams. A gram is a measure of weight. Fruit as a food group is not a great iron source but it does play an important role in ourability to absorb iron. Fruit is often loaded with vitamin C, a vitamin that will actually help to utilize the iron in vegetarian foods; apples are a modest source of vitamin C. |
