sukhy, I would have thought that spinach and silver-beet and likewise vegetables would be a good source iron for your diet. There are many recipes that you can find on the net. An important aspect with getting the most out of all your veg is not to overcook them or eat them raw if possible. Hope this helps, merry Christmas or should I say happy holidays.
