Can anyone tell me which food items are high in iron?

Hi Bowmah,

Some examples of iron rich foods include clams, oysters, beef, liver, enriched cereals etc.

Having vitamin C foods with iron-rich foods will also enhance the absorption.

Are you having trouble meeting your iron needs?

Hey Bowmah,

In addition to Owen's info, I used healthcastle'com's Search function and came up with these:

Hope they help.

Quinoa is another lesser-known food that is high in iron. It's also high in protein and fiber, making it a very well-rounded addition to any meal. Although commonly mistaken as a grain, quinoa is actually the seed of a spinach-like plant. It is really easy to cook and can replace couscous in almost any recipe. If you want to try it, check out a recipe that I frequently make:

Oatmeal & Broccoli is a great source of iron.
