Why would you crave iron rich foods?
957229
you may be anemic.....usually when you crave something you have a defieciency that your body is trying to satisfy.....when you do eat iron rich foods make sure you drink orange juice with it because the vitamin C helps your body absorb the iron.

Actually, it's the opposite.  People who compulsively chew ice are often deficient in iron, and, when they start taking some sort of supplement or change their diet, often the desire to chew on ice stops.  The habits of eating things that is cause by anemia (iron-deficiency) is called a pica, and specifically the pica of chewing ice is called Pagophagia.\n\nBasically speaking, chewing ice is a symptom of anemia, not a cause.

IRON RICH FOODS DAILY CAN EASILY FORTIFY YOUR BLOOD WHICH CAN BECOME WEAK FROM A LACK OF FOODS RICH IN IRON. WE NEED HIGH IRON FOODS.\n\nHemoglobin is the chemical substance in red Blood cells that captures and holds oxygen by circulating throughout the lining of our lungs, and then carries this oxygen throughout our entire bodies to every tissue. This fresh oxygen is then used to burn our internal fuel for energy, which is needed for proper cell growth and development and to provide fuel other important metabolic processes. [for Blood facts and fun, see the St. Joseph™ "Pump, Pump, Pumps Your Blood" song, CLICK HERE] Iron is also needed to produce myoglobin, the oxygen reservoir in the muscle cells and cytochromes, a class of iron-containing proteins important in cell respiration as catalysts of oxidation-reduction reactions.\n\nA deficiency of iron makes us tired and apathetic, a condition known as anemia. Anemia is characterized by low levels of hemoglobin causing oxygen starvation in your tissues. Though anemia is a common condition, do not try self-diagnosing it, or try self-prescribing dietary supplements, because the same symptoms that indicate anemia can also indicate other more serious diseases, such as bleeding ulcers or even cancer. A list of foods rich in iron are helpful.\n\nfor the details.http://www.bloodbook.com/iron-foods.html

The most common form of anemia is iron-deficiancy anemia.  You didn't specify if you have that or another form of anemia, so I will base my answer on the most common form.  If you have iron deficiancy anemia, you need to focus on foods that are high in iron.  Here are some examples of iron rich foods:\n\nMeats: Lean beef, lean pork, skinned poultry, shellfish, fish, liver, organ meats.\n\nEgg yolks: Rich in iron, but very high in cholesterol and saturated fat.\n\nDried beans or peas: Pinto, kidney, lima, navy, chick peas, black-eyed peas, lentils, split peas, green peas.\n\nGreen leafy vegetables: Spinach, kale, collards, beet greens, chard, broccoli.\n\nDried fruits: Raisins, prunes, figs, dates, dried peaches, dried apricots.\n\nNuts and peanut butter\n\nGrains: Iron fortified cereals (read labels), enriched breads, whole grain breads.

What foods provide iron?\nThere are two forms of dietary iron: heme and nonheme. Heme iron is derived from hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that delivers oxygen to cells. Heme iron is found in animal foods that originally contained hemoglobin, such as red meats, fish, and poultry. Iron in plant foods such as lentils and beans is arranged in a chemical structure called nonheme iron [9]. This is the form of iron added to iron-enriched and iron-fortified foods. Heme iron is absorbed better than nonheme iron, but most dietary iron is nonheme iron [8]. A variety of heme and nonheme sources of iron are listed in Tables 1 and 2. \n\nTable 1: Selected Food Sources of Heme Iron [10]Food Milligrams \nper serving % DV* \nChicken liver, cooked, 3½ ounces 12.8 70 \nOysters, breaded and fried, 6 pieces 4.5 25 \nBeef, chuck, lean only, braised, 3 ounces 3.2 20 \nClams, breaded, fried, ¾ cup 3.0 15 \nBeef, tenderloin, roasted, 3 ounces  3.0 15 \nTurkey, dark meat, roasted, 3½ ounces 2.3 10 \nBeef, eye of round, roasted, 3 ounces 2.2 10 \nTurkey, light meat, roasted, 3½ ounces 1.6 8 \nChicken, leg, meat only, roasted, 3½ ounces 1.3 6 \nTuna, fresh bluefin, cooked, dry heat, 3 ounces 1.1 6 \nChicken, breast, roasted, 3 ounces 1.1 6 \nHalibut, cooked, dry heat, 3 ounces 0.9 6 \nCrab, blue crab, cooked, moist heat, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nPork, loin, broiled, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nTuna, white, canned in water, 3 ounces 0.8 4 \nShrimp, mixed species, cooked, moist heat, 4 large 0.7 4 \n\n\nTable 2: Selected Food Sources of Nonheme Iron [10]Food Milligrams \nper serving % DV* \nReady-to-eat cereal, 100% iron fortified, ¾ cup  18.0 100 \nOatmeal, instant, fortified, prepared with water, 1 cup 10.0 60 \nSoybeans, mature, boiled, 1 cup  8.8 50 \nLentils, boiled, 1 cup 6.6 35 \nBeans, kidney, mature, boiled, 1 cup 5.2 25 \nBeans, lima, large, mature, boiled, 1 cup 4.5 25 \nBeans, navy, mature, boiled, 1 cup 4.5 25 \nReady-to-eat cereal, 25% iron fortified, ¾ cup 4.5 25 \nBeans, black, mature, boiled, 1 cup 3.6 20 \nBeans, pinto, mature, boiled, 1 cup  3.6 20 \nMolasses, blackstrap, 1 tablespoon 3.5 20 \nTofu, raw, firm, ½ cup 3.4 20 \nSpinach, boiled, drained, ½ cup 3.2 20 \nSpinach, canned, drained solids ½ cup 2.5 10 \nBlack-eyed peas (cowpeas), boiled, 1 cup 1.8 10 \nSpinach, frozen, chopped, boiled ½ cup 1.9 10 \nGrits, white, enriched, quick, prepared with water, 1 cup 1.5 8 \nRaisins, seedless, packed, ½ cup 1.5 8 \nWhole wheat bread, 1 slice 0.9 6 \nWhite bread, enriched, 1 slice 0.9 6

Anaemic means that you are iron deficient in your blood.  Most people can fix this with altering their diets, while others need to take iron supplements.\nFoods that are highest in iron are meats.  Red meats are the richest in iron, followed by white meats.  Then, dark green, leafy veggies, and some whole grains.\nAlso, taking a vitamin C supplement with your iron rich foods will increase the absorption... \nAsk your Dr. whether taking a supplement is necessary, or if you can make the change w/ your diet.  \n\nGood luck!

i doubt it, fruit doesnt usually have iron in it. whole grain/wheat products (cereals like raisin bran, wheaties, whole grain bread, etc) and meat (especially organ meats like liver) are usually pretty rich in iron (but not that good for you)\n\nupdate: i looked it up, they have about 2% of your daily recommended iron which is a very small amount, i wouldnt call them "iron rich"\n\n http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts-B00001-01c20Wm.html

are you taking your iron with orange juice will help breakdown the iron to make you body use it more efficiently.  Do not use grapefruit juice it does not work.  \n\nread the following for other information

the absorption of iron is significantly enhanced by the presence of vitamin c. this is because vitamin c, although not participating directly in the absorption process, maintains iron in the reduced state for it to be absorbed by the body
