WANT TO HELP YOUR BODY ABSORB MORE IRON FROM PLANT FOODS? The answer may already be in your kitchen! Vitamin C helps your body absorb non-heme iron, the type found in beans, lentils, and many other plant foods. Pairing iron-rich meals with strawberries, oranges, tomatoes, or bell peppers is a simple way to support iron absorption. You don’t need an expensive supplement or complicated diet to start making smarter food combinations. Save this reminder for your next grocery trip!
