Chicken Liver

• Chicken liver is one of the best sources of iron. One 3.5-ounce serving of cooked chicken liver provides 12.8 mg of iron--approximately 70 percent of your recommended iron intake for the day.
  
  

Oysters and Clams

• Oysters and clams are both high in iron. A serving of six oysters contains 25 percent of your iron intake for the day, while three-fourths a cup of clams will provide 15 percent of your recommended intake.
  
  

Beef

• Beef, particularly tenderloin and eye of round, is another good source of iron. A 3-ounce serving of roasted beef tenderloin gives you 3 mg of iron, or 15 percent of your daily intake.
  
  

Chicken and Turkey

• Dark meat chicken and turkey are both high in iron. A little over 3 ounces of dark meat turkey serves up to 10 percent of your recommended iron intake.
  
  

Beans

• Beans are some of the best sources of non-heme iron. One cup of soybeans, kidney beans, lima beans, navy beans and black beans each offer 20 to 50 percent of your iron intake.
  
  

Spinach

• Spinach is another great source of non-heme iron--half a cup of boiled spinach offers 20 percent of your recommended iron intake.
