The best source of iron is red meat, especially beef and liver. Chicken, turkey, pork, fish, and shellfish also are good sources of iron. The body tends to absorb iron from meat better than iron from nonmeat foods. However, some nonmeat foods also can help you raise your iron levels. Examples of nonmeat foods that are good sources of iron include: 1  Iron-fortified breads and cereals. 2  Peas; lentils; white, red, and baked beans; soybeans; and chickpeas. 3  Tofu. 4  Dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, and apricots.
An iron-rich diet includes foods that are good sources of iron. People need extra iron during childhood, adolescence (teenage years), and pregnancy. Iron is a mineral that your body needs to make hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is part of your blood and helps carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. You may need to eat more iron-rich foods to treat or prevent a low blood iron level or iron deficiency anemia.
