                                While many think of papaya as a nutrient powerhouse, a 100-gram serving only contains about 0.25 mg of iron. So, is papaya iron-rich? The real value lies in its powerful vitamin C content, which dramatically enhances your body's ability to absorb non-heme iron from other plant-based foods.
