Does all meat have iron in it?

However, the amount of iron varies depending on the type of meat and the animal's diet.

Here's a breakdown:

* Red meat (beef, pork, lamb): Generally higher in iron than other types of meat.

* Poultry (chicken, turkey): Contains iron, but typically less than red meat.

* Fish: Contains iron, but usually less than red meat and poultry.

It's important to note that iron comes in two forms:

* Heme iron: Found in animal products, it's more easily absorbed by the body.

* Non-heme iron: Found in plant-based foods, it's less readily absorbed.

Therefore, consuming meat provides a good source of readily-absorbable heme iron.
