I'm anemic, how can I get iron with superfoods?

I often battle with anemia and after doing research and reading blogs on superfoods, I have been trying to get my iron with superfoods. My doctor told me my iron was low and told me to eat liver or a steak. Well this is hard considering I don't eat red meat.

So I decided to put together an anemic diet consisting of iron-rich foods. So far I have included the following in my diet:

Beans
Turkey
Oats
pumpkin seeds

This is just a start I'm still researching different foods that will add iron to my diet. I have found a love for California walnuts which have a decent source of iron. I also found out that the iron in California spirulina is easily absorbed by the human body. I think I have a problem with absorbtion so California spirulina works well for me.

I've been purchasing organically grown California spirulina from Billy's Superfoods and this has so far been the best supplement I could give my body.
