    It has been thought that egg yolk is the best iron supplement food, but studies have shown that although the iron content of egg yolk is high, the absorption rate is low (6.5 mg of iron per 100 grams of egg yolk, the iron absorption rate is only 3%), but Eggs are a common food, easy to eat and preserve, various nutritional value is high, from a comprehensive point of view, can be ranked second.
