Nuts
Nuts, specifically cashew and almonds are one of the best ways to fight iron deficiency. These nuts contain vitamins E and K, magnesium, omega-3s and 6s, protein, and iron. An average amount of almonds and cashews have 3.8mg and 6.7mg of iron. Despite the healthy fats and nutrients it has to offer, nuts are high in calories and you can overeat the RDI for fat with them.
Quinoa
Quinoa is rich in nutrients. It has high protein, fiber, iron, copper, thiamin, and vitamin B6. A single serving of quinoa contains 8 grams of protein, 20% of the daily RDI for folate, and 3mg of iron. Quinoa is often used as a rice substitute.
