Iron Absorption Foods
Iron absorption foods pair heme iron from meat, fish, and poultry—or non-heme iron from beans and greens—with vitamin C sources like citrus, peppers, or tomatoes while spacing high-calcium or tannin-rich tea and coffee away from iron-heavy meals. Cooking in cast iron adds trace iron.
