    No food in itself contains enough iron to treat iron deficiency anemia. An average-sized person with anemia would have to eat at least a ten-pound steak daily to receive the therapeutic amounts of iron needed to correct the condition. However, foods can help maintain health and aid supplementation.The heme form of iron is more readily absorbed by the body.

    FOODS AND JUICES FOR ANEMIA:

    BEETROOT JUICE - (Beetroot juice contains phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and potassium, as well as vitamins A and C, niacin, folic acid, and biotin)

    BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES - contains the iron and essential B vitamins necessary for red cell production.

    GREEN FOODS AND DRINK - are essential for anemia sufferers.

    HERBS - Herbalists consider nettle (Urtica dioica) as a nutritious plant source of iron, as well as vitamin C, chlorophyll, and other minerals,

    FERMENTED FOODS - like miso, tempeh, and bean pastes are rich sources of iron, as well friendly bacteria necessary for vitamin absorption.

    Also a lot of kinds of meat are good, and cereal with lots or iron.

    The website link below I have for you tells you the things you should eat and the things that you should not eat if you have Anemia.

    parsley

    ground beef

    turkey

    kidney beans

    apricots, dried

    raw broccoli

    spinach raw

    fresh peas

    raisins

    fish-haddock, cod

    cucumbers

    oysters

    sun flower seeds

    roasted peanuts

    poached eggs

    Overall eat liver (yuck), red meats, beans, poultry (dark meat has more iron than white), green leafy veggies, and whole wheat grains.

    Some cereals have high amounts of iron, you just have to read the box or get some One A Day Vitamins they have all the iron you need

    Men need 10mg/day

    Women 18 mg/day
