Apr 29, 2013

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Chicken is not the richest animal source of iron, but chicken liver is rich in iron. Good sources include:
1- Non-animal sources:spinach, iron-enriched cereals (check box for details about exact content), pumpkin seeds, cooked beans, dried apricots, chickpeas, sesame seeds ...;
2-Animal sources: mollusks/clams/oyster, beef (more than veal), and cooked turkey
