I've been looking for ways to improve my iron intake. A few websites (including webmd and the American Red Cross) have listed dried apricots as a good source of non-heme iron. So I bought a bag at the grocery store and I've been munching on them (yummy!) but I looked at the back and it lists iron at 0%. ?? Did the brand I get somehow remove the iron in the processing? Or is the serving size on the brand too small to register the iron? Or is there really no iron in dried apricots?

(And along those lines...why only dried? Because you'd have to eat way too many regular ones to get a reasonable amount of iron? So did they maybe use the iron content of an undried apricot on the brand I bought to estimate the content for the dried ones?)

Thanks!
