The iron foods you must eat

Beans

Beans like white kidneys, black beans, black-eyed peas, and chickpeas are rich in iron. Black bean is one of the richest sources of molybdenum, a mineral essential for iron utilization and enzyme function. Half a cup of beans can provide around 10% of your daily iron need.

Grains

Buckwheat, quinoa, barley and millet are amazing natural sources of iron. Grains are best served with vegetables high in vitamin C, like cabbage, tomato, and potato to enhance the iron level in the body.

Lentils

Lentils contain insoluble fiber which helps to reduce hunger pangs at bay. Half a cup offers 4 mg of iron and 115 calories.

Meat

Lamb, pork, beef, ham and chicken are some excellent meat sources of iron. One serving of beef contains 1.8 mg of iron. One ounce of chicken breast comes packed with 2 mg of iron.

Fish

Salmon contains Omega-3 fatty acids that prevent blood clots and reduces the chances of having a stroke.
