PLANTS: One type of plant often found in a rainforest is an epiphyte. Epiphytes are plants that live on the surface of other plants, especially the trunks and branches. They often grow on trees to take advantage of sunlight in the canopy.arrots are not the only type of birds you will see in the rainforest. In fact, about 27% of the bird species in the world live in tropical rainforests. Insects make up the largest single group of animals that live in tropical forests.
Fruits and Vegetables. A cup of cooked spinach provides 6 milligrams of iron. Kale, broccoli, prunes and raisins provide 1 milligram of iron per serving. Each cup of prune juice provides 3 milligrams of iron, and a cup of tomato, carrot, grapefruit, pineapple or mixed vegetable juice supplies 1 milligram.
Eat spinach with tomatoes to allow better iron absorption. Iron is an essential mineral needed by every cell in your body. 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.
