1. Raisins - Purple grapes are an excellent fruit for replenishing blood. After drying the grapes, they can be made into health-preserving teas with every 100 grams containing 9.1 milligrams of iron. Moreover, during the drying process, the grape skin is maximally preserved (the nutritional content of the grape skin far exceeds that of the flesh), which is beneficial for retaining some stable nutrients in the raisins, such as iron, zinc, manganese, protein, and antioxidants.

2. Mulberry Dried Fruit - Currently, among fruits and their products, dried mulberries contain the richest amount of natural iron, with every 100 grams containing 42.5 milligrams of iron, truly deserving the title of "blood-replenishing fruit" among fruits. It is generally recommended to cook mulberry porridge, eating a bowl daily not only replenishes blood but also beautifies the complexion. However, pregnant women should use with caution.

3. Black Jujube - Among dried jujubes, black jujubes and honey jujubes are most highly regarded, with their iron content per 100 grams ranging between 3.7 to 3.9 milligrams, making them also fine choices among blood-replenishing foods. Dried jujubes also contain abundant Vitamin C, which is an important factor in promoting iron ion absorption, allowing the body to absorb iron more effectively. However, dried jujubes contain rich dietary fiber, which is hard to digest, so it's best not to consume too much daily, and they are ideally used in soups or porridges, often paired with Qi-supplementing Chinese herbs.

4. Longan Meat - Every 100 grams of longan meat contains approximately 3.9 milligrams of iron, which is quite rich among fruits, suitable for food therapy for anemia. They are generally best used in soups or porridges. However, longan meat belongs to the category of warm-hot foods, unsuitable for pregnant women and children.
