Which food has iron in it naturally, i dont mean like cerials and stuff
Beef. Particularly the liver.
Personally, I'd rather choke down a supplement without water, than liver.
If you're a vegetarian, you can get your iron from beans, whole grains and spinach.
broclie i know its gross but its true
why spinach...of course!
