Basically none: Propaganda posters show tofu, peanut butter, beans and molasses as being "excellent sources of iron for vegetarians." It's baloney The truth is that a young woman wanting to get her 18 mg RDA would need to take 20 tablespoons of "healthy blackstrap molasses" or 16 serving of broccoli to have a chance. Vegetarianism is the moral high ground but it's extremely dangerous if you don't supplement.
