Tea, coffee, calcium supplements, antacids, and foods high in polyphenols or phytates can inhibit iron absorption and should be avoided around meal times for better absorption.
Does peanut butter have iron?
Yes, two tablespoons of smooth peanut butter contains about 0.6 to 0.9mg of iron. Pair it with iron-rich breads or cereals for an iron boost.
Which meat has the most iron?
Clams, oysters and organ meats like liver have exceptionally high iron levels. Among commonly eaten meats, lean red meats, chicken and pork supply the most iron per serving.

Bananas contain only 0.26mg iron per medium fruit, so while they have trace amounts, they are not considered a significant source of dietary iron compared to meats, seafood, cereals, or leafy greens.
