What are the food that contains Iron?

Question

Any recipes to share?

Answer 1

Green vegetables are rich in iron, especially spinach if you like it. Spinach soup is good. Cook a large amount of spinach down in a pan until all the leaves have wilted. While this is happening sweat off a large onion and two sticks of celery in a frying pan with a knob of butter. When the onions and celery are soft add the wited spinach leaves. Add a small amount of water and a good splash of milk. Cook together for about ten minutes then liquidise. Season to taste, it's good soup! It's nice to add a splash of cream to the soup just before serving.

Answer 2

You cant get iron simply by eating some food. To absorb iron, you need copper, C vitamin too.
Best food author keeps recommending all the time is dates, raisins since they contain copper too! Just add a thin lemon piece and done
