Fruit in general is not a good source of iron but it can play an important role in iron metabolism. Fruit often times is packed with vitamin C, a vitamin that can assist you in using the iron more completely in non-meat foods; soursop is a moderate source of vitamin C.

For example, you can combine peppers and tomatoes with a grain-based salad or with legumes to increase your absorption of the iron in your whole meal. A raw pineapple dessert along with your meal would also help because of the fruit’s content of vitamin C. A glass of fruit juice is also an effective move.
