Best Answer

Black beans, cashews, kidney beans, lentils, oatmeal, raisins, black-eyed peas, soybeans, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, whole-wheat bread, molasses.

Don't drink tea or coffee, as they inhibit iron absorption.

Instead of using sugar, try organic molasses; it's also high in calcium.


Beans, oatmeal, spinach, raisins. There are vegetarian iron supplements that you can buy. If you eat fruit this helps you absorb iron.

No - I've been a vegetarian for 21 years and my blood is bloody brilliant (according to my tests at the Medical Centre).

I've got a cholestoral level of 3 - again that's really good - but I've got osteoporosis of the spine (found that out when my hubby hugged me and broke two ribs!!!). Apparently veggie peeps are less prone to osteoporosis than omnivores 'cos it's something to do with animal bits negating the benefits of calcium but I really don't know the ins & outs. Wiki it folks. I only know that at 62 years of age I haven't taken a day off sick from work this year and my 'omnivorian' (I just made that name up but I think it sounds good) younger work colleagues have taken tons. Worth considering????
