5.Shrimp and Oysters
Do you have a weakness for a big bowl of gumbo? You can satisfy your craving and get some iron, too. Shrimp and oysters are packed with it.
Toss in some brown or enriched rice and you’ll turn it into an iron-rich treat.
6.Vegetarian Delights
If you don’t eat meat, you can still get your iron. Tofu is a good choice. Or go for beans, like kidney, garbanzo, or white.
Food from plants has “non-heme” iron, which means your body doesn’t absorb it as well as the “heme” type found in meat.
Wash down your vegetarian meal with a drink that has vitamin C. It helps you take in iron better.
