red meats have the most and the most usable iron available - heme iron!. Everything else takes lots more of it to come up to where red meats are!.
*green leafy veggies, ie spinach
*tomatoes
*bananas
*cruciferous veggies, ie: broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts
*going on down the line now, any other green veggie
any other fruit!. any yellow or orange veggie
the further down the line you go the less iron is in it!. try cooking all your foods in cast iron cookware!. Iron leaches into acidic foods!.
and then we come to chocolate!. Dark chocolate has the most!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

thick leafy greens such as kale, mustards greens, collard greens, swiss chard, spinach!. DONT FORGET RED MEAT!. brocolli and pineapple!. if you like liver it can taste kinda slimy and gross but it has a **** load of iron!. but then again it does have the second most choloesterol of any organ meat so you might avoid it!.
