What are the iron rich foods ?especially for 3 yr old child
Liver, beets, any green leafy vegeatble like spinach.but my favorite is clams.ounce per ounce, more iron than even liver, although I am a sucker for properly prepared liver and onions (slow cooked it tastes like beef, not liver).
in addition to iron in foods, you should always cook with iron pots and pans coz you actually do pick up iron from them. avoid the aluminum coz you pick up aluminum, which is highly suspect of being linked to alzheimers.
Red meat is the richest source of iron. The iron in animal sources is absorbed easily by the body. Liver also but it contains high levels of vitamin A, intake of which needs to be kept below a certain level. Cereals and pulses, fortified breakfast cereals and leafy veg may all be high in iron but this is less easily absorbed by the body.

The extent to which your body can absorb the iron in the foods that you are eating can depend on what you eat the iron rich foods with.
