[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1972076, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=484290]@neithskye[/USER], That is the downside to google things but why should we all live in ignorance?? It is true that Vitamin C helps the iron in meat to be better absorbed but not the iron in broccoli. and similar vegetables. EDIT: please see [USER=52527]@Dark Horse[/USER] 's comment below. It is the other way round. Vitamin C helps with the absorption of iron in the vegetables. When I started a LCHF diet as a Type 1, I looked up sources of Vitamin C and found that cooked broccoli, brussel sprouts, green and red peppers (we call them capsicums here), spinach, cabbage, turnip greens, tomatoes, kale, thyme, parsley, spinach all qualify. In general I avoid fruit but will have some watered-down lemon juice during the hot summers and I make my own tabouleh with chopped parsley, tomato, chia seeds, garlic and lemon juice as a '4 out of 5' iron food!! :):):):) [/QUOTE]
