Getting Iron Without Taking a Pill

Iron in vitamins seem to make me sick right after I take them. I might be crazy or it might not be the iron but anyway. I thought I would let you know how I get plenty of iron in my diet without taking any additional iron supplements.

You can increase iron by taking a good iron supplement but cooking in cast iron is a fabulous way as well. Dark green vegies are typically high in iron and are relatively easy to grow  too. I know red meat is a great source but I have read a lot that if the meat isn’t free range or just grass fed it isn’t as profitable because of the stuff they inject the animals with. Range fed meats are about twice as expensive so I tend to rely on cast iron, dark greens, and also using black strap molasses in cooking as a way to keep up my iron levels.

What do you do?
