Beef has a lot of iron, along with dark leafy greens.
What signs of iron deficiency did you have? I am really tired at the end of the day and almost fall asleep on the couch by 7:00 every night.

when my iron is low i bruise quite easily, not sure if this is a standard symptom, just what i've noticed.

avoid drinking tea with food as this can hinder the absorbtion of iron apparently (according to gillian mckeith anyway)

My daughter and I both are anemic, controlled through diet (and a multi-vitamin). This site, http://nutritiondata.self.com/foods-000119000000000000000-w.html, is our best resource.

Lean meats, of course.
Prune juice, if you like it.
Wheat germ is easy to add to other dishes.
Potato flour is a great thickener and high in iron.
Whole oats
Seaweed (Nori)
Whole eggs
Sweet peppers
Thyme (the spice)
Potatoes, with skin
