    Mussels. I was rummaging through my cupboard last week and found a 150 g can of smoked mussels: 50% of daily requirement.

    I've always used blueberries. Iron (not a lot) and Vitamin C in one shot.

    Do you know that the problem is iron deficiency, or just guessing?

    This^

    I found I was iron deficient at the blood bank. Only then did my Dr. prescribe an iron supplement. Be careful with this.

    Many entries here in MFP are not complete, iron may or may not be listed.

    Now I take a multi-vitamin with "some" iron. Not all multi-vitamins have iron though, be sure to check the label.
