So is spinach a good source of iron or not? I mean when taking the whole absorption thing into the account too. Sorry, I'm in a hurry and I have no time to read

  Iron isn't as easily available from vegetables as it is from meat. So in general no. Spinach is also a contender (along with rhubarb) for being one of the most concentrated sources of oxelate, which those of us who have had kidney stones should try to avoid, or consume only in moderation, or consume only with a good source of dietary calcium (advice varies) It's ubiquity as a salad leaf, and it's general tastiness are a source of frustration, but sadly not very much iron
