Iron rich foods?

Jonna13 · November 2011

Looking at my daily diet I am pretty low in Iron...I don't really eat red meat simply because I don't like the taste. Occasionally, I will eat a steak but that's about it.

Just wondering if you know of any iron rich foods which I can incorporate into my daily diet...I suppose I could take a multi vitamin too.

Thanks!

Try nuts.. especially cashews.

hi jonna - I also worry about this and I do eat red meat occasionally, also nuts, seeds and big quantities of green leafy veg. Occasionally I eat fortified breakfast cereal but I normally prefer yogurt and seeds. Not sure what else I can do.

green vegetables are often high in iron... spinach, broccoli, kale, bok choy

Beets are also high in iron, so are lentils, almonds and sunflower seeds... lots of stuff not just meat

molasses are a quick and easy fix, lots of calcium in there too

Thanks for the ideas everyone got in all my iron plus some yesterday eating lots of greens!
