Food has two types of iron â heme iron and non-heme iron. Heme iron is found in meat, fish and poultry, and is the form of iron that is most readily absorbed from your stomach and taken up into your body after you eat it. Non-heme iron is found in plant foods as well as meat.
Heme iron is the form of iron that is more easily absorbed and maintained in the body. A person with an iron deficiency or anemia will have to eat less fish or seafood than other iron-rich foods because these contain the best type of iron in high amounts.hese plant-based, iron-rich foods contain significant amounts of non heme iron. According to Vegetarian Times, non heme iron, while good for iron, needs to be consumed in higher amounts because it is not as easily absorbed or retained in the body.
