To prevent iron deficiency anemia in infants and young children, it is necessary to choose iron-rich foods. At the same time, the issues of iron absorption and utilization must also be considered. For example, taking ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate along with vitamin C can promote iron absorption. Generally, the iron absorption rate in animal-based foods is relatively higher, reaching about 10-20%, while the iron absorption rate in plant-based foods is only a few percent. Below are some foods that have high iron content and strong absorption rates for your reference.
