Iron is needed for healthy blood, giving us energy and for brain development in babies. Iron is found in
a number of foods, including red meat. In general, the redder the meat, the higher the iron content.
Iron is found in two forms: haem and non-haem. Haem iron is absorbed more easily by the body and is found in beef, lamb, liver, kidney, poultry and seafood. Only about 5% of non-haem iron is absorbed and is found in vegetables, bread,
breakfast cereals, beans, eggs and fruit. Red meat can help to increase absorption, boosting the use of non-haem iron by up to four times. Vitamin C has a similar effect. Eating a combination of foods high in both haem and non-haem iron will
ensure an iron-rich diet.
