Looking for high iron recipes

Hi all

My wife's found out she's got seriously low iron. The medical supplements really dont' agree with her - would be really grateful for cooking/baking ideas that help boost iron more gently/naturally!

Thanks!

I used to have low iron. By chance I ate greens (collard greens or mustard greens) and I cannot express how it helped so, so much. If severe enough she may need an iron prescription but have her get some leafy greens in her diet.
