Kidney beans, or rajma, are actually a good source of iron, especially for vegetarians. Usually, about 3-5 mg of iron per cup (cooked). It's a practical and affordable way to get iron. Pair it with Vitamin C to help absorption!

Kidney beans definitely have iron. If you need precise figures for your diet, you can usually find nutritional info online, but if you have an iron deficiency, best to ask your doctor clearly about the best dietary sources and supplements.

Kidney beans, yes, they have iron. My mother always makes sure we eat pulses for strength. For specific iron content, you can check online, but for any health concerns about iron deficiency, please see the doctor, da.

Kidney beans are good for iron, but if you're asking because you suspect an iron deficiency, please don't just rely on diet alone. I ignored my fatigue once, and it got worse. Get a blood test and consult a doctor to know your actual levels and needs.
