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.

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
