Which of the following foods is NOT specifically mentioned as high in iron?

Egg yolks
Liver
Chicken
Legumes

The correct answer is: Chicken

The correct choice indicates that chicken is not specifically mentioned as a high-iron food compared to the others listed. Egg yolks, liver, and legumes are widely recognized for their significant iron content. Egg yolks contain a moderate level of iron, and they are often included in discussions about iron-rich foods, especially in relation to a balanced diet. Liver, particularly beef liver, is known as one of the richest sources of heme iron, which is more readily absorbed by the body than non-heme iron found in plant sources. Legumes, such as lentils and chickpeas, are also frequently cited for their high iron content, particularly beneficial for vegetarian or vegan diets. While chicken does contain some iron, it is generally classified as having lower iron levels compared to these other foods. Thus, it does not emphasize the same nutritional role in terms of iron that the others do, leading to its selection as the food not specifically mentioned as high in iron.
