Answers:
red meat beans legumes and liver enjoy!!!
Eggs, broccoli, spinach, pasta, whole-grain cereal, oatmeal, bread, pizza, brown rice, lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, pinto beans, romano beans, dried apricots, etc.
Two of them are liver and beets.
Liver, beans, spinach, are the only ones that I know right now.
As far as vegetarian foods are concerned, per normal serving, enriched grains and beans are the best source. Leafy greens are a great source per calorie but not per serving.
You can enhance iron absorption with vitamin C. Vitamin C maintains iron in the soluble ferrous form.
cream of wheat,venison(deer meat) cow liver and drinking orange juice all help with iron....also cook in a cast iron pan or skillet as it lets iron into your food.
CHEERIOS!!! (among a great many other things, especially leafy greens like kale and spinach)
There are two types of iron: Heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron can be found in animal sources like clams, pork liver ,oysters ,chicken liver, mussels ,beef liver, beef , shrimp, sardines , and turkey. Non-heme iron can be found in vegetable sources like cereals, pumpkin seeds, cooked beans, lentils,baked potato with skin, enriched pasta and canned asparagus.
Also, to enhance the absorption of iron, you need to have foods like meat, fish, poultry, orange, cantaloupe, strawberries, grapefruit, broccoli, brussels sprouts, tomato, tomato juice, potato, green & red peppers, and white wine whereas coffee, spinach, chard, beet greens, rhubarb, sweet potato,whole grains and bran can interfere the absorption of iron.
I have always found your boby tells you what itneeds if you listen. if your iron is low you will crave a food with high iron, like spinach. Listen toyour body it will let you know
Iron-beans and spinach are two good sources of iron.to increase the absorption consume it with vitamin c(like orange juice).
