Iron Rich Foods
Red meat (think lean cuts with little fat)
Egg yolks (boiled eggs for breakfast or lunch)
Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)
Dried fruit (prunes, raisins, dates)
Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels - Rice Chex are iron-fortified AND gluten free!)
Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)
Turkey or chicken giblets (ok, I have to draw a line here, but the dark meat is richer than white in iron, so have a drumstick)
Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans
Liver (hmm....no thanks!)
Artichokes (are you thinking spinach artichoke dip??)
