  6. No, I don't think they have a lot of iron. They have lots of potassium though.

    Here are some iron rich foods:

    meats - beef, pork, lamb, liver, and other organ meats

    poultry - chicken, duck, turkey, liver (especially dark meat)

    fish - shellfish, including clams, mussels, and oysters, sardines, anchovies



    leafy greens of the cabbage family, such as broccoli, kale, turnip greens, and collards



    legumes, such as lima beans and green peas; dry beans and peas, such as pinto beans, black-eyed peas, and canned baked beans

    yeast-leavened whole-wheat bread and rolls

    iron-enriched white bread, pasta, rice, and cereals


  7. No, they're very high in potassium and scientists have proven it's the world's most perfect fruit

    Clams

  10. I don't know about bananas but I do know that black strap molassas has a lot of iron.  (you can find it in the baking section of the market or healthfood store) I needed to take it and it helped me rather quickly.
