Hard-boiled eggs
Eggs are so versatile that they are a go-to food item for breakfast and other times of the day since they are easy to prepare. While eggs are often served at breakfast, eggs are also great for lunches, dinners, and snacks.
According to nutritionists, eggs are an excellent source of iron and essential vitamins and protein. Two large hard-boiled eggs are equivalent to 100 mg (one serving), providing you with 1.19 mg of iron. The iron in eggs is contained in the yolk. Boiled eggs do not require any oil or additives. Thus, you are getting concentrated iron from it.
There are several ways to cook eggs, which will give you varying levels of iron content. For example, one serving (100 g) of a whole fried egg has 1.89 mg of iron. When poached, a serving yields 1.75 mg of iron, while one serving of egg omelet will have 1.48 mg of iron.
Eggs are high in cholesterol, but with their other vitamin and mineral contents, they are still considered healthy food items. However, doctors recommend limiting your egg consumption to four eggs a week.
