The American Red Cross recommends eligible blood donors eat a well-balanced diet with extra iron-rich foods prior to their donation this fall. During the fall, iron-rich produce such as broccoli, kale, sweet potatoes, spinach, apricots and chard are in season and therefore more abundant. Food can have two types of iron, heme and nonheme. The body can absorb up to 30 percent of heme iron, primarily found in meat, but only 2 to 10 percent of nonheme iron.
The food that you can eat to build up ur blood are  rasins, grapes and drinking grape juice because all these foods are rich in iron that build up blood. 1.Meat(lamb, beef/calf liver, liver from organically raised cattle, fish) 2.Blackstrap molasses(1 tablespoon in a cup of hot water drank as a tea)
