    Fortified cereals, spinach? and using an iron skillet.

    Cook in a cast iron pan. No, I am not kidding. Especially acidic foods like tomato sauce or long cooking foods like soups. They absorb iron out of the pan and you get it. I was anemic as a child, and now my iron levels are always quite high.

    Cook your pasta, rice and oatmeal with the Lucky Iron Fish.

    Raisins. Liver. Any red meat.

    The other members have mentioned some good ones. I will add beef, super dark chocolate (80%and above), and black strap molasses.
