What sort of veggie food contain enough Iron and b-vitamine in resonable small dosis?
I don't really get what you mean whit resonable small dosis (do you mean the Iron and b-vitamine or the food?).
I guess she means as small as possible but no too small.

Exacly!

My first instinct is Collards, but here's a good site to do a little research: http://whfoods.org/
I take it you want to know about huge dosis of iron and vitamine-b in small amounts of food.

Vegetables for iron, the green colour in plants contains iron. The iron intake reduces if you use milk at the same time and increases if you use vitamine c at the same time. For vitamine b, all kinds of grains, unrefined. And the famous marmite of course.

If you really want lots of iron and vitamine b in small doses, foodsupplements might do the trick.

Thank you,but what is a grain?
We dont have marmite in our country(but it sure tasts good,yummy)
Ive read that foodsupplements shortens your lifeSad


Which country does not have marmite? (I'm just curious) (lots of people do think it tastes very awkward, it's something that might take time to get used to if you did not learn to eat it during childhood)

Grains. Wheat, barley, oats, rice etc.

Yeast is a source for vitamine b too.

If you can't eat what you need, food supplements can be helpful. Because if you don't get your vitamines by eating, that may shorten your life too.

Barley, the grain used to brew beer.
Oats, the grain used to make porridge.

Why are you looking specifically for vitamine b and iron? And are there specific b-vitamines your interested in?

A good balanced meal contains the things you need.

If your unsure about cooking for a veggie, its better to buy a recipy-book.
And a dictionary can be very useful on AFF.

lol, just remember the important stuff

A good book is "Plant Based Nutrition and Health", but I have no idea how widely available it is outside the UK: http://www.vegansociety.com/catalog/prod...cts_id=153

I know my local library has a copy, you could see if yours does.
A really great recipe book for veggie cooking is "Fresh Food Fast." The recipes are set up as seasonal menus and the results are chef-quality delicious.
Dried apricots are an escellent source of iron.

Single vegetables don't have all the amino acids we need to make proteins, but grains have one set, and pulses (peas, beans, nuts) have the other - so as long as you have a mixture you should be ok. For example, mix rice with peas, bread with peanut butter, beans and pasta.

There is a wide variety of fruit and vegetables around these days all through the year, so vitamin C should not be a problem, although vitamin B12 is very difficult to get in an adequate quantity from vegetables.
How about lentils and beans?

Lentils are pulses. (Also known as legumes).

Vitamin B12 occurs only in animal products. A vegetarian needs some animal products, such as milk (and cheese) or eggs. Almost all vegans have dangerously low levels.
