30 Foods High in Iron To Never Worry About Deficiency Again

Sardines

When you lack iron, it can lead to tiredness, dizziness, or worse, anemia. Since the body does not produce iron, you can only get it from food, such as sardines. Canned sardines are more available than fresh ones and are rich in iron and other vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. Therefore, nutritionists consider sardines as a superfood. 

One serving of sardines (drained), consisting of five pieces, including the bones, will provide 2 mg of iron, which is equivalent to 22 percent of the daily value. 

Sardines are also rich in calcium, vitamins B6 and B12, vitamins D and E, zinc, potassium, magnesium, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids.
