Foods with Iron
I tried to donate blood today and found out that my iron was low. It is 11.1, and they need it to be 12.5. I have no idea what the numbers mean, except that my iron is low. I am not a big meat eater. I do eat meat, just not often enough. I have a difficult time cooking it. So I am looking for other suggestions, other foods, that I can eat that have iron in them. I would like to try NOT to take a supplement, unless I absolutely have to. Is there anything besides spinach that I can eat to increase my iron level? Please keep in mind that I am a simple cook, I don't do fancy.
