Just thought I'd share because I've seen other posts inquiring about foods high in iron. I'm always looking for things that are high in iron as I have a tendency to become anemic. Today I took some dry Rice Chex cereal to work for breakfast (I don't tolerate milk very well). When I logged in my food for the day my iron was actually over my daily requirement. This has NEVER happened, so I looked to see what was kicking it up. It was Rice Chex cereal. I had to go check the box to verify the amount because I didnt' believe it. :noway:

One serving has 50% of your daily iron requirements based on a 2000 calorie diet, and it's not too bad on the carbs, no fat either. I think I'm going to be eating it more often!
