I'm looking for iron rich foods for the 9 days any ideas?? (I'm pretty low on iron that's why)

Green leafy vegetables. The darker green it is, the more iron.
Broccoli, spinach, kale, beet leaves, romaine lettuce leaves (I think...), etc.

almonds and raisins ... I eat them for a quick pick-me-up snack when starving - the plus iron and protein ...
what about salmon - or is that just the healthy oils ...

B"H
beans are also very rich in iron - if you dont like beans cook them and drink the liquid.

Molasses!! It's a great source of iron (1 tbsp. has 18% of RDA). I eat it by the spoonful (sweet but slightly bitter - yum) and invite my slightly anemic kids to do the same...
You can also use it as an ingredient in cookies, muffins, etc.
Molasses is also a very good source of calcium (5% of RDA in 1 tbsp.).
For anyone watching carbs, be aware that 1 tbsp. of molasses has 16 grams of carb (as sugar).
Enjoy!
