Most of your iron supply is found in your red blood cells, which carry and store oxygen. You can get iron from a variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, spices and beans. Iron from animal sources is called heme iron, and is more easily absorbed than plant-based iron, which is called non-heme. Some of the best heme iron sources include uncommon foods such as chicken liver and oysters. Non-heme, however, is readily available in everyday foods you probably already have in your refrigerator or pantry.
