Fruits matter more as vitamin C boosters than as primary iron sources. Therefore, the “best” fruits for iron are often vitamin C–rich options like oranges, kiwi, and strawberries because they enhance non-heme iron absorption. If focusing on iron content, dried fruits (dried apricots, raisins) can contribute more. The best practical move is to finish iron-rich meals with a vitamin C–rich fruit and keep tea/coffee away from that meal window.
